Email from Excel..please help!!

[Bob]

I would like to use Excel VBA to send an email from a
spreadsheet.

The email system we have is Lotus INotes (embedded in our
intranet system)

How do I do this ?.

All the examples I have seen , for sending emails via VBA
assume that OUTLOOK is the default email system.

Please advise.

Many thanks,

[Tom Ogilvy]

Here's a VBA function to mail files using Lotus Notes (watch out for line
wrapping).
