Then you can try create the mail there. I haven't tried this with SSJS but back in lotusscript I have done this. Just make sure to just save the document. No need to do a send method. The mail.box will route it later.

I have used that technique in LotusScript.  Hadn't thought of using that in javaScript.  I'll test that but I seem to think there's a similar issue.  But I'll give it a try.  Thanks!

you can over-ride these fields. There are several example out there of code that accomplishes this. I have used a SSJS library by Mark Leusink.

Works pretty well as is but you can modify it to deal with your specific requirements.

Thanks for the replies.  I ended up using the mail.box technique.  In case anyone else needs it, here's the code:

 Create the body field.

    var body:NotesRichTextItem = doc.createRichTextItem("body");
    body.addNewLine();
    body.appendText("Four score and seven years ");
    body.addNewLine(2);
    body.appendText("ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, );
    body.addNewLine(2);
    body.appendText("a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..");
    body.addNewLine(2);
    
    var subject = "The Gettysburg Address"
    var emailAddr = "fan@there.com"

    sendEmailViaMailBox(emailAddr, subject, body);

function sendEmailViaMailBox(emailAddr, subj, rtBodyFld){
    
    var mailboxdb:NotesDatabase = sessionAsSigner.getDatabase("<server name>", "mail.box");
    var emaildoc:NotesDocument = mailboxdb.createDocument();
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("form", "Memo");
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("sendTo", emailAddr);
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("Recipients", emailAddr);
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("subject", subj);
    //emaildoc.replaceItemValue("body", rtBodyFld);
    emaildoc.copyItem(rtBodyFld, "body");
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("SMTPOriginator", "xyz@abc.com");
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("From","\"xyz@abc.com\" <xyz@abc.com>");
    emaildoc.replaceItemValue("Principal","\"xyz@abc.com\" <xyz@abc.com>");
    emaildoc.save();
}
