If that's what you need, your best bet may be to use a data step to write your own email messages. You'll have to mimic the RFC822 protocol yourself. Just build a null data step which opens a pipe to your SMTP server via a filename statement, and then sends the header and mail information via put statements. It's not the cleanest solution, but it's not too awful.

That said, we never were able to get Lotus Notes to recognize all the header information we wanted to impart, despite the immense efforts that my co-worker [or cow-orker :-] Rich Leduc put into it. And the calls he put to SAS tech support. He finally settled on a Perl solution using the Net::SMTP module [IIRC] and had it working in a day. Or less. C'est la vie.
