How to make Lotus email attachments from IE / mailto

[dan24678]

I'm trying to set up a mailto: URL which a user can click that will open an email in Lotus Notes and automatically attach a file to the new message.

I've tried using the mailto: URL using the '?attachment' parameter (I've also tried '?attach' and '?attachments') but can't get anything to work.

Is this possible to implement with mailto?

If not, does anyone have an ActiveX control that I can use instead? I'm very good with JavaScript and HTML, but I know no ActiveX whatsoever, so if it can be done with ActiveX, please explain how I would add the ActiveX or VB code to the hyperlink <a> tag.

Thanks very much!!

There is no default way of attaching files using 'mailto:', see in e.g.

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=m...tab=gg&oi=groupst&q=mailto:+syntax+attachment

What you COULD experiment with was the LAUNCH option in the Notes form. It is a POSSIBILITY, I've never tried it on any web based application so I can't do anything but guess that there will be some trying and failing first anyway...
