You can create mail outside of L'otes using the SAS email interface (see Windows Companion 2ed.) and then send it to your L'otes users. I do not believe it is possible to create the document inside of L'otes and then send it from there while under SAS control.

If you plan to use the SAS NOTESDB interface to L'otes to do anything practical be aware of the following SAS 'features':

1) SAS can only Append to a L'otes database. You cannot for example update the online address book from your HR database using SAS.

2) SAS cannot store general text, like a report from Proc Print, into L'otes. SAS strips the cr/lf so that your beautiful formatted report ends up like a word wrapped note!
