Hello,

is there a server side setting/parameter to define how Domino mail messages to the internet (e.g. Outlook) are converting notes document/application links?

There is a setting for INotes user for displaying Notes links, but i am not sure if this is also a setting for external messages.

Server.Notes.ini: DominoHTMLOptions=OfferNotesURLInLink=1
==> should display notes links within INotes as notes:// and additionally with https://

I also found this references with upgrade to Domino 14, that there is a problem with Notes links created within application.

and

==> Workaround set NOTESLINKURLS=2

The customer request (only using Outlook and accessing Notes only via webbrowser) to get notes links within mails as https:// urls or with both options (notes:// and https://).

I seem to remember a work around we had for this from many years ago. Basically it involved creating the internal link as a file attachment, to the email which when launched from an external email client would open up the Notes Document.

If you drag a Notes document to your desktop it creates a link in a file. You can then edit that file in Note pad to see the format you are trying to achieve, like this -

[InternetShortcut]
URL=Notes:///80257DC40044EE41/7F91ACC4C6CDAB8380257CAE00679E9F/0B7980E8CA1A784680258C2A00576A29?replicaID=80257DC40044EE41

Its possible things have moved on since version 5, and there may be a better way do it now?! but it worked for us. I guess it should also be possible to create the above link in a URL shortcut. and achieve the same effect.
