We have a voting button in an email which works in the Client, is it possible to include a button in the email that would work for iNotes users?
The button is used to confirm that the email has been read and certain conditions understood.
Yes. Basically, what you want is for the user to click on a link that will run an agent on the server which executes the commands you have in the button in the Notes client directly on the server.

I have a requirement wherein on click of button on a dialog, I want an email draft that will popup in Outlook so that any message can be customized before sharing the same.
This is to be integrated in Angular/Nodejs Application.
I assume below possibilities on same.
1.Using Angular to display emailsIds to which mail would be sent
2.On click of "send Email" button,there would be a nodeJs service call that would open Outlook with prepopulated emailIds selected from first screen and using node-outlook library setup up outlook call.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-outlook
Please suggest if any better approach possible for same and also if anyone has worked on such requirement a working demo code would be very helpful to build this on.
You could probably use window.open and mailTo protocol to open the email draft at client end.
window.open('mailto:abc#gmail.com;xyz#gmail.com?cc=pqr#gmail.com&subject=Subject&body=Hello World', '_self');
All Details required to be displayed on the mail could be fetched through node service calls.
Someone please let me know what exactly #Command([MailForward]) command does?
In my organization, I take care of several existing notes based applications. Here, one of the users is getting error message when clicks on 'Email Quote' button in one of the applications. The button contains the formula '#Command([MailForward])'. As the user clicks on the button, he gets following error:
Here in the organization, all the users use 'Outlook/Exchange' for emails, and notes emailing is not enabled. Other users of the application are able to click the button and send quotation via mail. The issue is with this specific user only.
I think there is some configuration settings in location entry or person document (names.nsf) that I am missing. Please guide me.
Thanks

#Command([MailForward]) is a command that takes the current Notes document that you are looking at and attempts to create a new email with that document included in the body. This is similar to what you see when you forward an email in Outlook.
Since you aren't using Notes for your mail, this action will not work. The error message you are receiving is there because the current user doesn't have a Lotus Notes mail file configured.
I have create a form in Notes Designer version 9.0 and i am unable to forward this form to any users, as i do not find Forward Button under Create Menu.
Not sure if am looking at right options to forward the form, please help.
Thank You

There are two classic approaches to publishing a form for users to fill out.
Set the Store Form in Document property on the form (see here), and add mail fields (SendTo, Subject, etc.) to it. Add a button that is only visible to you and use #MailSend code in that button to send a document to the people you want to fill out the form. Add another button that is visible to the recipients, and use #MailSend code in that button to send the document back to you, or to a mail-in database. The form will accompany the document wherever it goes. (It will be stored in a field called $Form.)
Just put the form in a database on your server, and set the ACL so that your users can create documents in that database. Send an email message to all the users containing a button with code that executes #Command([Compose]...) with the options set to point to the correct server, database, and form.
Note that both of the above techniques assume that the people you want to fill out the form have Notes clients. If that's not the case, then what you'll want to do is this:
Just put the form in a database on a server that is running the Domino http task, and set the ACL so that your users can create documents in that database. Send an email message to all the users containing a link in the form http://server/path/databasename.nsf/formname?OpenForm
I am building an application in which the sender has the sender's view, and then he from the sender's view, adds recipients, message subject, documents and tabs and after that using our own application send button and save draft button, the envelope can be saved or sent.
If I just change the status to "send" using an api call, it won't work since the docusign server is not aware of the recipients and the documents the sender has entered, so, how do I create my own send button and save draft button for a view that is initially empty and the user enters everything manually?
Thanks.
I don't think want you want to do is feasible. i.e., unless/until the user clicks the "Save Draft" link within the Embedded Sender view, DocuSign will not persist (store) any of the changes the user has made to the Envelope(recipients, documents, email info, tabs, etc.).
I created a customised button with some simple actions attached to it in Lotus Notes 6.5. It's just a simple voting button, which I emailed to a group of nearly 200 people. While sending I got a pop up telling me that the button can't be send. After about 10 seconds I got a first reply asking 'where's the button'. Then an avalanche of very clever emails followed, such as: 'no button', 'where's the button', etc.
Before I spammed everyon I had tried the email on my work mate and the button went through fine!
Any ideas? I suspect some security policy....
I really need to send this mail and get the survey results, so I don't want to fail again. Any suggestions appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Damo
Might be an issue if some recipients don't have Notes e-mail account.
If your gathering information then assuming you are going to store the data in a Lotus notes database create a form where they can input it directly and just send them a doc link to the database.
Buttons can be weird because if they contain code that is restricted by the ECL of the workstation then notes may automatically hide the button on the basis that it won't let the code run so hide it by default. You may be able to get round this by having the system admins send the button on your behalf.
This may be a daft question, but did you actually send the email to other Lotus Notes users via your Notes infrastructure? If not, the mail routers will have stripped the mail of any proprietary Notes stuff as it wings out to the internet.
You mention an error message, what was it exactly? AndrewB mentions that your organisation's ECL may be kicking in; alternatively, if you use 3rd party spam / trojan protection, that might have had something to do with it, I don't know.
