Use a text link to create new mail.

[hodgsonk]

I want to put a text link in a Notes e-mail that, when clicked, will open a new, pre-addressed mail form. The person clicking on the link would then fill in the subject and body text and click on send to mail the new e-mail to the pre-defined address. I suspect I need to use an agent for this, but do not know how to proceed or the code to use in the agent.

Any suggestions?

Multiple possibilities :

1) use the Notes Designer to create a special form and embed the form in the mail to users

Two issues with this : a) you must have Designer knowledge to accomplish this, and b) users can prevent your form from executing.

2) instead of sending mail, create a special db on the server which the text links to, and have users create a new document with the details you need.

Issue : you still need Designer knowledge.
Advantage : you have a record of who entered what, instead of a bunch more mails to sift through.
Advantage : you can forward any document to a given address at your leisure, or automatically (with a bit more coding).
