Lotus Notes 6.5.5

[religon]

Odd little problem. Corporation upgrades from Lotus Notes 6.0 to 6.5.5 for Windows XP clients. Breaks a little ScriptMaker script used to compose canned email.

Something like...

"send mail"

To: "[email protected]"

Subject: FMS7Table::Some_Subject

Message: "Some static text."

When the script is executed, Lotus Notes properly generates a new email. LN 6.5.5 properly fills out the Subject: with the correct data. The problem is the other two fields. Nothing is entered in Message:. And the To: field is very odd...

[email protected] static text.

Behaves properly under Lotus Notes 6.0. Nothing on IBM's tragic website or fix notes about this problem. One other user on this forum has reported this problem with "send mail" and 6.5.5.

Can anyone confirm or refute this suspicion?

Thanks,

are 'mailto' html tags fireing your lotus notes?

it could be that your 'default email client' or 'default email format' has changed on XP machines.

All the best!

Lotus Notes is the default email program. As stated, it does launch Lotus Notes and compose a new email.

The problem is a little deeper.

Thanks,

Showed this to a couple of FileMaker system engineers who were at corporate Headquarters last week. There was quite a bit of "Hmmmm..." and "It's not supposed to do that." I'll take that as confirmation.

Did you ever find a solution for the Lotus Notes email glitch?

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem with Lotus Notes 6.5

Here is the solution that seems to work for me.

Instead of using Send Mail[] command, use the Open URL[] command.

Open URL["mailto:[email protected]?subject=subjectdata?body=bodydata"] (can be a calculated field)

Enjoy.

I just ran into this problem and am still looking for a solution.
