One simple way is to just open the “stationery” view in the user’s mail file. But if they try to save it after double-clicking a stationery, it will save it to drafts and remove the stationery document. If they just “Edit” the stationery from the view, then it will be fine. And if they double-click the stationery document, they can type and send and it will send normally without modifying the actual stationery.

The lotusscript for the “New Memo Using Stationery” is a shared action called “Tools\New Memo - Using Stationery…” if you want to see how IBM is doing it with LS.
