Controls whether the Notes client mail view feature "Show > Group By Date" (grouping messages by date) is active.
Client
Client
At least 11.0.1 (=1 to enable); =0 to disable since 12.0.1 (per HCL documentation)
1 = enable "Group By Date" in Notes mail views; 0 = disable "Group By Date" (default from 12.0 onwards is enabled)
The notes.ini parameter EnableGroupByDate controls whether the HCL Notes client mail-view feature "Show > Group By Date" (grouping messages by date) is active. With value 1, administrators can enable the feature on Notes clients via a Desktop Policy (HCL Domino 11.0.1 Help: "Enabling the Group By Date feature in all mail files"). With HCL Domino 12.0.1 Group By Date became enabled by default in Inbox / All Documents; value 0 disables it again (HCL Domino 12.0.2 What's new: "Disable the Group By Date mail feature"). Per HCL Support KB0109093, the parameter affects the Inbox and All Documents views; users can additionally toggle grouping per folder via View > Show > Group By Date.

Controls whether HTML-formatted mail in the Notes client is rendered with the embedded Notes browser or with the operating system's default browser.
Client
Client
At least 9.0.1 (per HCL documentation)
0 (default) = use the Notes embedded browser for HTML mail; 1 = disable the embedded browser and use the OS / default browser instead
The notes.ini parameter BrowserRenderDisable controls which browser the HCL Notes client uses to render HTML-formatted mail messages for reading. With the default value 0, Notes uses its embedded (built-in) browser. When set to 1, the embedded browser is disabled and the operating system's default browser (historically Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Safari) is used to render the message instead. The setting corresponds to the Notes Client Preferences option "Disable embedded browser for MIME mail" and can be deployed centrally via a Desktop Policy (see HCL KB0127468). When an HTML mail is edited, replied to, or forwarded, the Notes-internal renderer is always used regardless of this value, which may alter parts of the original HTML formatting.

Controls whether HTML-formatted mail in the Notes client is rendered with the embedded Notes browser or with the operating system's default browser.
Client
Client
At least 9.0.1 (per HCL documentation)
0 (default) = use the Notes embedded browser for HTML mail; 1 = disable the embedded browser and use the OS / default browser instead
The notes.ini parameter BrowserRenderDisable controls which browser the HCL Notes client uses to render HTML-formatted mail messages for reading. With the default value 0, Notes uses its embedded (built-in) browser. When set to 1, the embedded browser is disabled and the operating system's default browser (historically Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Safari) is used to render the message instead. The setting corresponds to the Notes Client Preferences option "Disable embedded browser for MIME mail" and can be deployed centrally via a Desktop Policy (see HCL KB0127468). When an HTML mail is edited, replied to, or forwarded, the Notes-internal renderer is always used regardless of this value, which may alter parts of the original HTML formatting.
