Sending Notes mail to Exchange mail

Hi

I need to create a way to send a Notes email to users that has MS Exchange mail account. In that mail there needs to be 2 buttons(or links). When the Exchange user clicks on button1(or link) a reply of that mail is being sent including subject and body with answer NO.

When the Exchange user clicks on button2(or link) a reply of that mail is being sent including subject and body with answer YES.

Is it possible to create this functionality in Notes so that it triggers an action when the email is open in an Outlook or MS Exchange client?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Since you can’t program Exchange, the only way I can think of is to embed a couple of mailto commands in the body of the email you send from Notes. Make the subject of one NO, and the other YES. Then when the Exchenge user clicks on the link, it will email the response back to you. You can then easily trap the replies in your inbox.

I am not that very good in HTML. Can you please give me an example?

You can put it directly into the text of the message, like this:

mailto:fred@bloggs.com?subject=YES&body=YES

If you want to hide the link behind a keyword, you need to know that the recipient is working in Outlook with HTML format - no guarantee, so just send the raw mailto.
