i’m currently developing a 3rd party tool running on the Lotus Notes client. i discovered that when i do a reply or forward from an opened mail, the Notes client will actually retrieve another copy of the mail from the user’s mail file (whether from the server or from the local replica), instead of doing a copy paste from the opened window. Is there any way i can change this behaviour at all?
Are you sure you want to re-write the mail template as your first Notes development project? Have you checked what’s already available at openntf.org?
As far as your question. Of course you can change the behavior of a button. Just view the code behind it and change it. What you are asking is an easy task. However, I don’t think you realize the implications of what you ask. Messing with the mail template is a job for advanced Notes developers. It’s very easy to screw stuff up.
