Lotus Notes

This process causes mail address (e.g. mailto:user@acme.com) links to open a new memo addressed to the specified user in Lotus Notes rather than Outlook, Netscape, or some other email package. This process will also cause the "SendTo --> Mail Recipient" option during the right click of a windows file (icon) to send the file.

After the Notes client has been installed, go to:
Control Panel->Internet->Programs.

In the Mail list you should see Lotus Notes as a registered Mail client.
Select Lotus Notes, then click on "Apply" or OK.


Once you've done this, you should be able to right click on document in the "My Documents" folder and select "SendTo->Mail Recipient". Notes should launch and the selected document should appear as an attachment in a New Memo.
