Expert: Paski K. Paskaradevan Date: 11/29/2007 Subject: Automatically printing e-mails and attachments in Lotus Notes
Question I have a generic mailbox that people forward e-mails to so they can be printed and filed in the official record. It is a work around as we do not yet have an approved method for managing electronic records and so our official guidance and policy is to "print and file".
This box can get over 50 e-mails a day and currently someone has to manually go in and print the messages and attachments. What I would like to do, as I used to be able to do in Outlook, was set up a rule that would do it for me when the messages came in.
But I can't figure out how to actually make it work. I'm assuming I first have to save it as a functional script (kind of like a macro in access) and then set up my folder to "run" that macro when messages come in but I can't figure out the actual steps to do that.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer Hi,
I do not think you can set up a rule to do this.
Unfortunately, there is no back end method to print documents. The print method works only in the UI. It is a NotesUIDocument property. So, a scheduled agent cannot be written for this (since you cannot use UI classes in the back end scheduled agents).
The script you are referring to is being used in the UI.
