Greetings all,<br />
<br />
I am a J2EE developer with no prior Lotus Notes experience and I have been tasked with determining what type of modifications we may have to make to an application we're working on.<br />
<br />
The application is a tool that allows for real-time collaboration between users via email. &nbsp;When you open the email, the body of the message is built by sending an HTTP request to our application server which then returns HTML to the client. &nbsp;The HTML is then displayed in the body of the email message. &nbsp;YCurrently, this works fine with Microsoft Outlook; however, I need to estimate time for integrating with Lotus Notes for another client.<br />
<br />
What I really need to know is if a) HTML can be rendered in a Lotus Notes (version 5) email message, b) what browser client is used to render that message, c) is the browser client configurable by the user and d) if there are any notable limitations to this approach.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for any help you can offer!<br />
Scott

Can Lotus Notes email messages display  HTML coming from an external server?

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
