NotesURL to Outlook

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am trying to send a NotesURL from Lotus Notes to Outlook via SMTP and once it gets to Outlook the link does not work, it is plain text. Does anyone know how to solve this? HTTP is enabled on Domino and Outlook mail format is using Word 2003 as the editor.

Thanks

You shouldn’t have any difficulty- this task is handled by the smtp translation- if you put in a http://www.mydomain.com in your notes mail and send it to anyone outside the notes domain- it should get translated. Mine works notes > notes (different domain)notes > outlook

outlook > notes

Notes > web based mail like yahoo.

Thanks for the response, I will try that but I wanted to get it in the form of a link where there is a hyperlink text underlined.

assuming that you are creating the message document in Lotus script

there are classes to allow you to create a paragraph in the Body rich text item

that is

a) pass through HTML

b) is a tag with the correct HREF and text

OK, I think my syntax may be bad. I get the link but I just want the text “Click Here” to show up underlined as the link. Here is my code:

Call rtitem.AppendText(“ notes:///8525723C004E31A5/FB146B5C04EFB7CA852568E1006E6156/7A2EE118E87E112B8525727D0054167BClick Here”)

Any suggestions?

You’ll have a lot more luck creating the email as MIME. See Codestore.net for a technique to send a multipart plain text/html MIME email that should work for any receiving client.

Thanks Stan, I will try that.

I did get the other way working but we had to change the outbound STMP MIME config option to from Notes to HTML and used this code:

Call rtitem.appendtext({
} & {
} & {} & doc.form(0) & " in " & doc.ParentDatabase.Title & {})
