Is Notes Standard 8.5.2 "a MAPI-compatible e-mail program"?

Hi,Word 2007/2010 mail merge now lets you output the merge results to email. With Notes 852 set as the default mail client for Windows it all works except for the part where it actually creates/sends the emails (no errors displayed). The help for Word (excerpt below) states that the e-mail program must be MAPI compatible. Anyone have this working or know if Notes is MAPI compatible?

TIA

Carlos

FROM WORD HELP:

Use mail merge to send personalized e-mail messages to your e-mail address list

-You must have a MAPI-compatible e-mail program installed. The capabilities of Outlook MAPI (Messaging Application Program Interface) make it possible for Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Outlook to share information when sending the merged e-mail.

-You must use the same versions of Outlook and Word. If you are using Microsoft Office Word 2007, you must also use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Subject: Yes

It’s MAPI compliant. To get it working, just set Lotus Notes as your default mail client in Windows.

eg. In Windows Vista/7

Go to Control Panel…

Default Programs…

Set Program Access and Computer Defaults…

Expand the Custom section and choose a default e-mail program

Subject: Check your Registry Settings

Since upgrading our Lotus Notes from v7, we discovered that within Office the Send to Mail Recipient options no longer existed.

After spending a fair amount of time running comparisons, we were missing the MAPI settings that the upgrade ( for some reason ) removes.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem]

“MAPI”=“1”

“InstallCmd”=“rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection MSMAIL 132 msmail.inf”

“CMC”=“1”

“OLEMessaging”=“1”

“MAPIXVER”=“1.0.0.1”

“CMCDLLNAME”=“Mapi32.dll”

Subject: Notes is default mail client

Hi, thanks for the response. Notes is already set as the default mail client and doing a ‘Send’ from within Word will launch Notes and attach the file. Do you have any doco/links that mention Notes 8.5.2 as being MAPI compliant ?
