I need to send the details of a Document via e-mail to recepients using Outlook. If I set attachform = True, I would logically expect the form to be attached to the e-mail but this doesn't appear to work unless I'm sending to a Lotus Notes client(?).
The presentation of the data is the key element here and my other option would be to generate a HTML document with the data from the document....easy! Or so I thought! in doing this and sending the resulting message to an Outlook client configured to receive HTML e-mail, I simply get the HTML source (ie. nothing is parsed by the e-mail client. My other thought is to generate the HTML file and send it as an attachment to the e-mail instead (user receives the file and opens the attachment which presents a nice form in their browser). The trouble is I can't get my head around exactly how i should do this. My questions are:
1. What's the best way of creating the file so that it stays within the database? Bear in mind that I will be generating the HTML through LotusScript and will also need to assign a filename to it with a .HTM or .HTML extension.
2. How can I attach a file to an e-mail message?
3. Is there anyway I can harness Domino's powers to generate HTML from Documents and use this mechanism to create the file??
Oh yes, we're using Domino 5.0.3
Cheers,
Darren.
