Sending mail as attachment

[Edwin Mukusha]

Hi Mike,

We have gone through the conversion from Lotus Notes connector to SMTP and 
did it without too much headache. Maybe you could describe how you are 
sending the attachment from the workflow?

In the meantime you could also try sending send an ABAP list report from 
any report output and let me know what you get on Lotus (using the System 
menu -> List -> send).  Remember the conversion rules change quite a bit 
from the two versions.  The conversion rules for attachments are now more 
simplified from 6.x onwards.  You will find the settings for file 
conversions on tx. SCOT -->double click the node->and click  on Internet 
Set button.  check what setting you have there and report back.  I know 
prior to SMTP we had the option of configuring more flexible conversion 
routines where an attached file could go through multiple conversions. You 
probably know this already, so bear with me.

Anyway if you are still having problems with this let me know I am sure we 
can make something work.

enjoy,

Edwin.

Greetings all, 

Apologies if this is more SapConnect than Workflow-related, but I figured 
folks here are pretty knowledgeable :-)

I have inherited a setup which is moving from a Lotus Notes connector to a 
standard SMTP internet mail server setup. The fun part is a certain 
workflow which sent a SOFM attachment as an attachment via Notes/Domino, 
which dutifully arrived at a .txt attachment with the original contents. 

Switch to a standard SMTP-compliant server and all I get is an attachment 
which contains a persistent object reference: 
<SID><client> SOFM      FOLnn000000000004EXTnn000000000nnn     *<OBJECT>*

The attachment filename itself is: 
Q99_999 SOFM FOL99000000000099EXT99000000000999 --OBJECT--.OBJ

So it is clearly referring to the object, but where it was previously 
actually attaching the SOFM document itself it is now attaching the object 
reference. 

My question: Where is this setting stored? I've gone through the varios 
SCOT settings and have tried to adjust settings for object/document type 
(started getting errors along the lines of 'conversion type not supported' 
or similar). 

Any input appreciated. 
Muchos grazias,
Mike
