Hi Victor,

you have to tell SAS to send the email through Lotus Notes and not through vim or other mail transport agents. I have done this 3 years ago and don't remember the details, so I have looked into the SAS sample library and found an example you could use. If all the paths on your WinNT are set correctly this should work.

It uses the notesdb access engine! Hope it helps.

Ciao. Mauro.
