If you're routing mail from Notes apps to Exchange, the [Sign] flag in @MailSend will not work...
Category IBM/Lotus Microsoft
As part of our migration efforts, we still have Notes applications generating emails that go to Exchange and Outlook. If the actual form is being sent, we found that forms that have checkboxes and radio buttons get lost somewhere in the ether and never arrive. To get those to go, I had to change those types of fields to dialog boxes.
But we had one other situation that cropped up, where a normal @MailSend that sent a doclink would never arrive. The form had checkboxes and radio buttons, but that shouldn't have been an issue since it was only a doclink being sent. Turns out that when this was coded, the developer used the [Sign] flag as part of the @MailSent parameters. On a hunch, I took all of those out and had the user retest. Now it works fine...
Still not sure why [Sign] would have held things up (nor did we ever get an answer as to why checkbox and radio button fields wouldn't send), but such is life...
