Problem: Composing a new Lotus notes email from C# windows application.

Hi Im creating a new email like this in a C# app:System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:email@email.com?subject=" + subject + "&boby=Hello&body=" + FormatEmail());

But if the string that FomratEmail returns is too long its cut. Is there anyway to get arround this?
If not, can I do it in another way?

Great site.
/Thank you!

Well Im not looking to use COMs, I just want to start a new "New email-message" window with receiver, body and subject pre-filled. I dont want to supply username or anything like that. The user will supply that when his Lotus Notes starts.

Thank you. Great site!

Let me answer your original questions first:

> Is there a way to get around the 256-character limit?
No.

> Can you do it in a different way?
Yes, see my previous post.

I understand what you want, but Notes doesn't. Sorry.

It seems that the limit is much higher in R8:

Ok thank you.
But, I have looked at the Lotus Domino Objects. Is there a way to just open a new mail window (prefilled) ?
I dont want authenticate the lotus user programatically.

Thank you again.
