Open Lotus Notes mail page without sending from .NET

I'd like to open a new email page, in Lotus Notes (I know I know, I hate it too...) from a WinForm (.NET) application. Right now, I have found this that uses Interop.Domino.dll very useful. I adapted it a little and it works. Unfortunately, I don't want the email to be sent. I just need to open a new mail window with the body I give it, but no "To adress"...

I know Notes question don't have a high reply rate over here, but I give it a try anyway.

Thanks !

Solution

  • On Windows Notes clients greater than version 6, there is support for a Notes:\ URL scheme to launch documents. You can construct a URL dynamically in .Net that points to the user's mail database and opens a new mail form.

    http://www.dominoguru.com/pages/LotusNotes_notesURLs.html has more details, but essentially it is of the form Notes:\server\database\0\memo?OpenForm
