Hi,

I want to send a mail at a specific time in future. I am using R5. I want to send a mail at 9.00 AM next day and I have composed it and saved as a draft. Is it possible to do something like that?
 
Hi,

I think I just answered this one in another forum....

There is no standard functionality to do this but you could create an agent to do this.

Put your e-mail in a special folder. Then create an agent that will run at 9AM, and that acts on all documents in that folder.
The action is to send an e-mail and select the option to include the document in the message.

You will have to set your destination and your subject in the Agent as well.

If you need this many times you could create a more advanced agent that takes the original destination, subject and so on. For this you need to use LotusScript.
You could then create a special folder that holds waiting e-mails. When you drag a memo in this folder the system ask you for the sending time and date and stores it in the message. This needs a bit of programming and some modifications to the mail template, but this is basic stuff for any Notes programmer in your organization.

You can also create a calendar entry and use the "send message" option in the alarm options.





Kind regards,
