XIMFMAIL is an add-on for Trustedbird.

This add-on can produce forms for sending and receiving depending on another definition add-on. The definition add-on in XML is used to define:

• which headers are optional and mandatory,
• the headers that need to be displayed,
• the headers that must be inserted in the signature

Trustedbird can be customized for your personal mail needs (companies, public authorities, non profit organisations, …).
Complementary datas are transported in MIME headers respecting the XIMF format ((eXtended Internet Message Format).

What can be described in a definition add-on ?

A definition add-on allow you to describe with internationalised labels XIMF headers and their values.
A value can be :

• optional,
• mandatory,
• free text,
• restricted text
• text in opition list
• text composed with retricted text and free text
• value depending on another value
• …
• a date selected in a calendar,
• a specific address

It is possible to define rules on data of forms :

• to list headers to add to the signature (secure headers). Trustedbird kernel inserts them to the signature to the send message and allows the recipient to read and to verify,
• to provide compatibility with other formats using MIME headers (XSMTP),
• upon receiving the message, the image is displayed instead ofthe header,
• …

It is possible to organise the presentation of data in the outgoing message form and to define the headers in order to see in the main panel columns.
