It sometimes can be convenient to add a Mailto: link within a Lotus Notes document. When the person reading the document clicks the link, a new memo form with the entire e-mail address filled in will open.

To add a Mailto: link to a Lotus Notes document:

1. Click the New Memo button or open a new document in a database.
   
   
2. Type the word or phrase in the rich text field that should appear as the link and highlight it.
   
   
3. Select C reate from the menu bar.
   
   
4. Select H otspot from the drop down list and select L ink Hotspot from the next drop down list.
   
   
5. The HotSpot Resource Link box will appear:
   
   • Type: Leave the type as URL which is the default.
   • Value: Type mailto: followed by the entire e-mail address that the users should be able to reply to without any spaces. If the full address is not entered, the link will not work properly.
     • Example: Type mailto:wonder_woman@peoplesoft.com in the value field for a new memo form for Wonder Woman to automatically open.
       
       
6. Click the tiny checkmark to the right of the Value window to save the mailto: address.
   
   
7. Click the "x" in the upper right hand corner of the HotSpot Resource Link box to close it.
   
   
8. Send the new message or save the database document.

When a user clicks the link, a new memo form will automatically open with the address entered filled in.
