Setting Up Email Service
14-4 AltiWare OE System Installation & Administration Manual
AltiWare provides users with the ability to record a voice annotation and
attach it to an email mixed-media message. This voice recording must be
done before the user sends the email in order to send the voice annotation
as an attachment to the email. After the voice recording is complete, the
user can send the email. AltiWare then combines the voice message and the
email into a single MIME message and sends it to the recipient. The ability
to send and receive MIME messages is included as part of AltiWare email
capabilities.
