Sending a Document to a Non-Notes User

I have a Notes database with a form action that opens a memo in the user’s mail database and adds to this memo an image of the current document as well as a doclink. However, if the memo is received by somone without a Notes client, the document image in the memo does not appear correctly. (Much of the formatting and graphics are lost.)

Here is most of the code:

Dim maildb As New NotesDatabase( “”, “” )

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

Set docA = uidoc.Document

Call uidoc.Save

Call docA.Save(True,False)

Call maildb.OpenMail

Set docB = New NotesDocument( maildb )

Set rtitem = New NotesRichTextItem(docB, “Body” )

success = docA.RenderToRTItem( rtitem )

docB.SendTo = “John Smith/Atlanta/ABC”

docB.Subject = “This is a Test”

Call rtitem.AddNewline(2)

Call rtitem.AppendDocLink(docA, “Link”)

Call rtitem.Update

Call uidoc.close

Set mailuidoc = workspace.EditDocument(True, docB)

Is there a means of programmatically adding the image of a Notes document to a memo so that it could be received and viewed by someone without a Notes client? For example, could the image of a Notes document be programmatically added (not manually copied and pasted) to a Word document which would be attached to a memo?

Thanks.
