Send an automated mime mail created using lotusscript

Hi,

I am generating a mime mail using lotusscript in which I have generated a “mailto:…” statement as a I want a response from the receiver.

On clicking that mailto I expect the mailclient or if the user is using a browser based mail like hotmail or yahoo to open a reply to window with default lines mentioned in the mailto.

But mailto does not work well everytime. Sometimes the whole mail message except the first sentence appears as small txt attachemnts instead of appearing in the body of the mail.

I would like some sort of link or button to appear in my mail which the receiver receives …on clicking of the button/link a new reply to window with default to/subject and body should get generated. Thereafter if the receiver wishes to do any changes …it is alright. But a default reply to window should open.

Is it possible to do this using lotusscript. If yes how and if no is there any alternative within lotus notes to achieve this from a notes client.

Please help.

Thanks

Neeta

You want this to work for any recipient, no matter what mail client they’re using. But there are dozens of popular mail clients if you count browser-based ones, and no matter what you do, some of them will implement it differently from your ideal. I suggest you use the mailto: link, which is standard, and if it’s not working in a standard way for someone, advise them to take it up with the supplier of their mail client.
