   About TPX Internal Applications—

   • Outbound compression is performed automatically for internal applications such as NOTES, TPXADMIN, and TPXMAIL.
   • Because internal applications (such as NOTES, TPXADMIN, and TPXMAIL) do not preset modified data tags (MDTs) to ON in outbound data streams, there is no need to set the Inbound compression field to Y for these applications.
