Embed Web Page In e-Mail

Hello,

I am hoping that this can actually be done...

I would like to send an e-mail through lotus notes that has a web page (e.g. http://www.google.com) embedded in it. If this is not possible, then what about a browser being launched and directed to a specified url?

Is this even possible?

Thanks.

do nothing. putting "http://www.google.com" in the email body will automatically change it to a link. once the link is clicked lotus notes will launch a browser (browser depends on the user's preferred browser set in the location document) and open the said link.

Thanks cezarF but I think I misstated my question. I would like to embed the actual web page in the e-mail or have the site launch upon openning the e-mail. I am trying to avoid any actual user action such as clicking a link or a hot spot.

however, the launching is not automatic.

So this is looking like it's not possible. Unfortunately I do not have access to change the design of the memo form so I will not be able to try out cesarF's suggestion. I will leave this open for a couple of days to see if anyone else has any ideas. Thanks for the suggestions so far. (FYI, the url is withing our local intranet, so there is no virus or spam risk).

JRated,
been trying to embed a "Microsoft Web Browser Control" in the body of the email but couldn't make it work. you might want to try other browser related controls. :)
