    I know it's possible to send email with domingo. Is it possible to open a new mail window in notes client with the prepared message, instead? Actually, I need a functionality similar to Windows Explorer, where you right-click a file and choose "SendTo->E-mail-Client" and a message window opens in your default mail client (which is Lotus Notus in my context) with the file attached to it (plus some prepeared message text!). Is this possible? If not with Domingo, how else could this be achieved with Java?

      If I recall correctly, Windows Explorer is using a MAPI function to cause the email to be created within Lotus Notes.  If you can trigger the MAPI function from within Java you will be all set.    This could be done by Java > JNI > MAPI, or perhaps Java > COM Bridge > Microsoft MAPI Control.  Google isn't coming up with any quick and easy solutions but I'm sure it can be done.
