You’ll need a third-party product to achieve this - have a look at CoexLinks from Genii Software:

Which doesn’t work with 6.5 servers

Subject: RE: Doclink in Outlook Express

It certainly works with 6.5 servers. I have it running on a 6.5.1 server right next to me right now. Have you had a problem that should be reported?

Update: the only reported problem is with people who don’t know that the mail should be sent in rich text and not in MIME format. CoexLinks works fine otherwise, but it can’t go back and deduce the doclink information after the MIME conversion has obliterated it.

There is a simple solution: just use manual link creation in LS:Determine

  1. server’s host name (from NAB)

  2. replicaid from NotesDatabase.ReplicaID

  3. universal id for this document

in the mail creation sub’s write

maildoc.AppentText(“notes://” & server & “/” & replicaid & “/” & unversalid & “?OpenDocument”);

OE accepts this links Ok.
