This is my sample rewrite code as Mime format...

Sub Initialize
    Dim ss As New NotesSession
    Dim db As NotesDatabase
    Dim vw As NotesView
    'Dim Doc As NotesViewEntryCollection

    Dim LateInVw As NotesView
    Dim Ec As NotesViewEntryCollection
    Dim Entry As NotesViewEntry
    Dim Doc As NotesDocument

    Dim MailDoc As NotesDocument
    Dim rtBody As NotesRichTextItem

    Set db=ss.Currentdatabase
    Set vw=db.getview("(test send mail)")
    tdy=DateValue(Now)


    %Rem
    Set replydoc = db.Createdocument()
    Call replydoc.Replaceitemvalue("Form", "Memo")
    Call replydoc.Replaceitemvalue("Subject", "Pre-check Passed - " + apptitle)
    Call replydoc.Replaceitemvalue("SendTo", indoc.From(0))
    Call replydoc.Replaceitemvalue("BlindCopyTo", mailinadd)
    Set body = replydoc.Createmimeentity
    %End Rem    
    Set EC = vw.Allentries
    Set Entry=Ec.getfirstentry
    Do While Not Entry Is Nothing
        Set Doc = Entry.Document

        email$="chee111385@gmail.com"
        Set Maildoc= db.Createdocument()
        Call Maildoc.Replaceitemvalue("Form", "Memo")
        Call Maildoc.Replaceitemvalue("Subject", "Test Send Mail, Mime Format")
        Call Maildoc.Replaceitemvalue("SendTo",email$)
        Set body = Maildoc.Createmimeentity

        ss.Convertmime = False 
        Set stream = ss.Createstream()

        stream.Writetext(|<html><body>|)
        stream.Writetext(|<p>Dear Sir, | + |,</p>|)
        stream.Writetext(|<p>This is a testing mail. Thanks You!<br>| + |</p>|)
        stream.Writetext(|<p>|+|Notes://Mulu/482577AE00260EC5/|+ +Doc.Universalid+|</p>|)
        Call stream.Writetext(|</body></html>|)

        Call body.Setcontentfromtext(stream, "text/html;charset=UTF-8", 1725)
        Call maildoc.Send(False)
        ss.Convertmime = True 

        Set Entry = EC.Getnextentry(Entry)
    Loop

End Sub

I not sure how to just open notes document directly...as everytime i click the link it go to the frameset itself...which is not correct!

Answer 1

If you're asking about just this one application, then what you need to do is learn about notes:// URLs, which you can read about here. You just need to change your code to generate a correctly formatted URL for the view, either instead of or in addition to the doclink. When the user clicks the notes:// URL, the Notes client will open and take the user to the view.

If, however, you actually have lots of applications that send doclinks to users, than you may want to look for a solution that installs on your Domino server and handles this automatically for all the applications without you having to change any code. A company called Genii Software has a product called CoExLinks Fidelity that does this.
