Think if Lotus Notes and Symphony worked like this

You could store templates inside a nsf and use them using a special richtext light type.

Or if there existed a special xpage control for this. Thighter integration between lotus notes and Symphony is needed to get a larger customer base.

Mailto links with attachments

I tried this several times but with no luck.

the ordinary syntax for mailto links is like a ordinary url

first parameter starts with a ? next parameter and so with & nothing complicated here

mailto:emailadress

creates a new email with the default client

mailto:emailadress?subject=My email

Created a new email and the subject is my Email

mailto:emailadress?subject=My email&body=some text

Same as above but with "some text" in the body field

mailto:emailadress?subject=My email&body=some text&attach=c:\tempfile.txt

Same as above but you will also automatic attach the file tempfile.txt

most of the examples that is shown on the net is for outlook and they use another parameter name &attachments= this doesn't work with Lotus Notes

You can also use cc and bcc to add people in these fields automatically.
