Lotus Notes 8 - Sending a file from inside Excel or Word without history attached
Hi, I am using Lotus Notes 8 as my e-mail client.
I am used to being inside Excel or Word and sending from that application (File \ Send to \ Mail Recipient(as Attahcment)). But when I do that it adds a "crazy" history. I have opened Excel and made a new document and tried to send it only to have a huge history list in the e-mail.
I want to be able to send without a history and I do not want to save it and have to attach it inside of Lotus Notes.
Thanks.
Truly,
Wendy

Don't have Word or Excel any more. COuld you maybe post a screen shot (in GIF or JPEG) of the crazy history? What is in the history?
What happens if you choose to add the attachement from within Notes, and not from within Word or Excel?

It works fine from within Notes. No History. It is just if I send it from within Excel or Word. Very Strange.
As far as History goes it just has a long history of e-mails. I think they are mine but I can't find a particular folder or connection.

Is it maybe a lot of "Received from" stuff, from the mail header in SMTP?

I don't know.
If I scroll all the way to the top of the history it goes into Repeat Calendar Holidays like New Year.
It appears to have mail I have sent and received.

Save the File to desktop or wherever you need to have it saved, Open a new Mail and drag-drop the File from Desktop into your Mail-Message... Sorry for not having a Solution that suits your used way to work.
AFAIK there have been some bugs in the "Send-To" Feature for LN8 up to 8.0.2, several of my customers have received a Hotfix from IBM for this. What I heard is also that the send-to works while Notes is open in the background, but doesnt when its not running yet.
Also your description of the "history" seems to be the "All Documents" View. I also request a Printscreen of this to be sure... thx

Also within Lotus Notes Preferences, Basics tab, check the option "Enable MS Office 97 SentTo to Notes" It works in all versions after 97 and allows the sending within the office suite although using send to from explorer still has issues.
As above there is a few hot fixes and LN needs to be running.

Indeed, looks like the All Documents view, but why?? Repeated question: COuld you maybe post a screen shot (in GIF or JPEG) of the crazy history?

Thanks, I really want to send it without saving it first.

Good idea. I checked and it is enabled. It does send it just adds "history" or "conversation" to it.

Okay, I will post a screen shot for all of you.
Thanks.

I suspect it has something to do with Office compatability with Notes.
What happens if you save the file in Excel as different( older) versions of Excel using the file save as feature?
I looked through the thread, I don't see you mention what version of Office you are using. What version are you using?

It doesn't seem to matter how I save it.
This is truly odd how it is acting.

Sadly I don't have access to the Lotus Notes install CDs.
But I do appreciate the answer and I will certainly give you points. I just want to leave it open a little longer in case there is a way I can do this inside Lotus.
Thanks!

Hmm, I found this old doc, not sure if it will work:
(make a backup of the mail.box file first:)
see Word attachement.

This may just be a bug that isn't fixable.
But I thought you deserved the points for all of your legitmate help.
