@MailSend 6.5.3 vs. 7.0.2

Hi,It seems to me there is a fundamental and undocumented difference between the way that notes handles @mailsend commands in Notes 7.0.2 compared to 6.5.3, thought people might like to be aware of it.

@Mailsend allows you to enter ‘bodyfields’, this can be fields taken from the original document. They can include rich text fields with attachments in them:

  • In Notes 6.5.3, code similar to the below:

(I defined SendTo and Subject earlier in the code)

ATTACHMENTS is a Rich Text Field containing text, buttons, and and executable attachment.

@MailSend(SendTo:“”;“”;“”;Subject;“”; “ATTACHMENTS”);

This produces the result of sending an email with just a picture of the attachment, and Note Item Not Found error once the email is sent.

  • In Notes 7.0.2.

The same code produces the email with the proper attachment still in it with no errors (which is much better :-).

Additionally, the documentation for @Version is incorrect (or perhaps just incomplete not yet including 7.0.2), (I have fed this back by the link in Help but include it for information), it is saying:

Number Returned by @Version Corresponding Lotus Notes/Domino version

256 Notes 7.0

With Notes 7.0.2, in fact the version returned by @Version is actually 265: either a typo or 7.0.2 is considered a sufficiently different version to give it its on number…

Thought people might be interested, if not no worries.
