Hi
I am looking to add our company standard signature to all users outgoing emails. Can this be forced by the administrator centrally.If so how?

many thanks in advance

I take it that you wish to add some sort of legal notice to the end of all you e-mails. If not goto end.

Find the database called MTAforms.nsf
open it in design mode
open the form memo
at the end of this form find the field Body
to the right of this field(not below) enter your text


:end
 
MTAForms.nsf is only available for R4 SMTP MTA. In R5 you will need to teach users to use signature text, modify the mail50.ntf or (horror!) make a design change to mail.box on the outgoing mail server. What I find is the most often accepted procedure is to use a product like MimeSweeper for virus & rule checking mail to also append the corporate disclaimer.

Dale Get a head start in Lotus Notes by leasing a range of applications from:
 
this is how I did it :
Edit mail50.ntf on your server

go to resources - Other - Shared Actions
Edit the 'send' button
use this code :

Code:
disclaimer:=@NewLine+@NewLine+"Type your disclaimer here"+@NewLine;
@Command([EditGotoField] ; "Body");
@Command([EditBottom]);
@Command( [EditInsertText]; disclaimer );
MEMO_SEND:="1024";
FIELD ActionInProgress:=MEMO_SEND;
@If(@Command([FileSave]);@Command([FileCloseWindow]);@Return(""))

and then wait until all mailboxes are updated with the new design and look what happens when you press 'Send'

Thanks all for your help.

I have inserted your code as you suggested, the problem is however

disclaimer:=@NewLine+@NewLine+"Type your disclaimer here"+@NewLine;
@Command([EditGotoField] ; "Body");
@Command([EditBottom]);
@Command( [EditInsertText]; disclaimer );
MEMO_SEND:="1024";
FIELD ActionInProgress:=MEMO_SEND;
@If(@Command([FileSave]);@Command([FileCloseWindow]);@Return(""))

The problem now is that the closing bracket(in red), is highlit and I am getting an error
"an operator or semi colon was expected but none was encountered: ')'

Thanks again for your time.
 
make sure
.... "Type your disclaimer here"+@Newline;

is one 1 line (it was split up because it didn't fit in the window...) --------------------------------------------------------------------
