In Exchange 2000 Server, the control on the Internet message formatting for defining the rules for message encoding, character sets, allowance for Exchange Rich Text Format (RTF), message text word wrap, and allowed types (OOF, Automatic Reply, Automatic Forwarding) has been moved to a global level. The idea behind the global settings for the Internet message formats is that the configuration of message formats should hold true for the entire Exchange organization because the configuration is based on the nature of the destination and not on the originating site.

The global settings concept eases the need for individual connectors to be set for destination-based specifics such as message encoding, character sets, allowance for Exchange Rich Text Format (RTF), and message text word wrap. However, it takes away control of specific settings such as Allowed types (OOF, Automatic Reply, Automatic Forwarding), requirements for which may differ from routing group to routing group.
In Exchange Server 5.5, the Internet message format is set on the Internet Mail Service. This allows each site to define its own specific settings for a particular domain.
