We have tweaked the notes discussion group so that when a posting is made a set of subscribers are emailed an alert with a link to the current posting.
This all works fine but we suspect that if people get an email then some of them instead of following the link and creating another posting they will simply click ‘reply all’ and the thread of the conversation will be lost or at best become fragmented.
So, our solution is to stop them clicking ‘reply all’. I am aware that if you send an email to a group you can add a field called ExpandPersonalGroups and set it to “0” but my problem is how to create the ‘group’ on the fly in lotusscript ?
Here are some slices of my code:
’ get the email array information
’ MM subscribers
Dim mmsubscriberview As NotesView
Set mmsubscriberview = db.GetView("Vsubscribersmm")
Dim mmsubscribercount As Integer
mmsubscribercount = mmsubscriberview.entrycount
Dim mmsubscriberlist() As String
Dim mmsubscriberdoc As notesdocument
Dim mmcount As Integer
If mmsubscribercount > 0 Then
Redim mmsubscriberlist(mmsubscribercount-1) As String
Set mmsubscriberdoc = mmsubscriberview.GetFirstDocument
End If
…
Set mmemaildoc = db.createdocument
mmemaildoc.sendto = mmsubscriberlist
Thanks
