How to send email with Lotus Notes

It is pretty easy if you have VBA routine. Link from IBM site will give you one. And here one from my application:

Public Function SendNotesMail(strTo As String, _
    strSubject As String, strBody As String, _
    strFileName As String, ParamArray strFiles()) As Boolean
    'Usage:
    'SendNotesMail "SteveO@microsoft.com", _
        "subj", "some body", "c:\filename.txt"
 
    Dim doc As Object   'Lotus NOtes Document
    Dim rtitem As Object '
    Dim Body2 As Object
    Dim ws As Object    'Lotus Notes Workspace
    Dim oSess As Object 'Lotus Notes Session
    Dim oDB As Object   'Lotus Notes Database
    Dim X As Integer    'Counter
 
    Set oSess = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
    'access the logged on users mailbox
    Set oDB = oSess.GETDATABASE("", "")
    Call oDB.OPENMAIL
 
    'create a new document as add text
    Set doc = oDB.CREATEDOCUMENT
    Set rtitem = doc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Body")
    doc.sendto = strTo
    'doc.CopyTo = CCToAdr
    'doc.BlindCopyTo = BCCToAdr
    doc.Subject = strSubject
    doc.Body = strBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
 
    'attach files
    If strFileName <> "" Then
        Set Body2 = rtitem.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", strFileName)
        If UBound(strFiles) > -1 Then
            For X = 0 To UBound(strFiles)
                Set Body2 = rtitem.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", strFiles(X))
            Next X
        End If
    End If
    doc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = True
    doc.SEND False
 
    SendNotesMail = True
End Function
