How to create HTML Email Programmatically?

I was told in order to make images not load locally within an HTML email I had to create the mail programmatically instead of importing it (File → Import). How would I do that?

How exactly do I create a document locally though? I’ve never issued a “NotesDocument.Send” command before so I’m a little lost. All I’ve ever done within Lotus Notes is received and sent emails while attaching a signature, just like most people. Do I need to learn a bunch of IBM or Lotus Notes commands in order to accomplish creating an HTML email within Notes? Like I’ve said, I’ve tried importing (File → Import) an HTML document into a New Memo but the image tags take the images and put them in the email itself. Make sense?

Like Stan Rogers said, he told me I had to create it “programmatically” but I still don’t know what the means.

Answer to your question: create a document locally, name it “Memo” and fill to correct fields and issue a NotesDocument.Send command.

But where did you get your information? What are you trying to achieve? Please tell us this, so we can make a better answer to your question.

He got the information from me – and since I have a fundamental objection to “web bugs” in email, letting him know that he needs to create a MIME message programmatically to avoid sending images as linked MIME parts is as far as I’m going to go with this.
