NEWMAILEXT
==========

THIS IS A FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE SOFTWARE

This is a freeware program that does not require installation.
Just copy it and execute it.

The program replaces the "You have a new mail" dialog box that
the Lotus Notes Workstation arises when a new mail arrives.

The native Lotus Notes notification box suffers the following
disadvantages:
- It arises at most after one minute after the mail has arrived.
- Sometimes the notification doesn't work.
- The notification box doesn't give enought information... it doesn't
  tell you who sent the mail neither the subject.

NewMailExt has the following features:
- It arises at most after 10 seconds after the mail has arrived.
- It works
- The notification box gives the subject, who sent the mail, and if
  you desire the text part of the body.
- You can delete the mail from the notification box if you desire.
- You can reply the mail from the notification box without using
  the Lotus Notes workstation.
- You can compose a new mail.
- Althought the notification box arises, it doesn't get the focus
  so you can continue typing without caring of the box.


FAQ
---
Q: I launched it! I don't see anything on the screen!
A: Quiet! An icon appears in the traybar (at the down-right corner,
   where the time appears).

Q: Do I need the workstation installed?
A: Yes, the program is built using the Notes C Api and the program
   needs the Lotus Notes libraries.

Q: I launch the program but I cannot type my password... it doesn't work
A: Yes... a bug. I'll fix it as soon as possible. Actually to solve this problem
   you have to make sure that in the notes WS "File/Tools/UserId/Share password 
   with notes add-ins" is checked. After asserting this fact, every time
   you want to use the NewMailExt program you have to FIRST OPEN THE LOTUS NOTES
   WORKSTATION, TYPE YOUR PASSWORD AND THEN EXECUTING NEWMAILEXT.

Q: When shutting down the computer the machine doesn't shut-down...
A: Another bug. Close the NewMailExt before shutting down your computer.

Q: Does the workstation need to be working?
A: Not in fact. The workstation needs to be working before the program is
   launched. When the program is executing the WS can be closed and opened
   without caring of the NewMailExt
