What type of message is it?

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

Just as an FYI, learned from experience. If you have an e-mail generated from Domino, like an e-mail generated from @MailSend (Formula) or Send (Lotusscript), it is typically just a text e-mail. That means it will be up to the mail viewing program to determine if a "URL" in it is in fact a url or something else. We had so many problems with this we went a different direction. I've been using code that sends the message as an HTML e-mail message. This way the mail viewer doesn't need to play hit-and-miss when determining the type. We haven't had a hitch since.

Example below:

Dim body As NotesMIMEEntity
Dim header As NotesMIMEHeader
Dim stream As NotesStream
Set stream = session.CreateStream

session.ConvertMIME = False ' Do not convert MIME to rich text
Set maildoc = New NotesDocument( db )
maildoc.Form = "Memo"
Set body = maildoc.CreateMIMEEntity
Set header = body.CreateHeader("Subject")
Call header.SetHeaderVal( subjectText )
Set header = body.CreateHeader("Reply-To")
Call header.SetHeaderVal( workflowdoc.ReplyTo(0) )
Set header = body.CreateHeader("To")
Call header.SetHeaderVal( v )
Call stream.WriteText( bodyText )
Call body.SetContentFromText( stream, "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1", ENC_NONE )

Call maildoc.Send( False )
session.ConvertMIME = True ' Restore conversion
