I'm working with an application that can run external programs. I have it set up to run this:
Code:
mailto:{|Asgnmnt.EmailAssignee}?Subject=Case # {|CallLog.CallID} - Update on Assignment&Body=This is my test message

This works fine to invoke an email message with the fields, TO:, SUBJECT:, BODY, filled out. My question is...is there a way to modify the FROM: field?

A lot of my users access a global email account (in Lotus Notes) in addition to their own. When sending email to external customers, they want it to come from the global account so customers don't receive individuals' email addresses.

 

Have you tried adding "&From=Name"?

Failing that, I would consult the manual of your mail package, or ring their tech support people.

Hope this helps,
Dan
