/?Open

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

On an R5 server, leaving /?Open in your server documents home url brought 
up a list of databases.

IBM/Lotus has decided that this was too useful, and even though they gave 
you the option to configure your server to not allow database browse, that 
freedom of choice was an evil thing.  Therefore now, you have to put in 
the specific database.  For example http://myserver/mail/jblow.nsf
However just putting in the above will not prompt you for the userid and 
password.  Thus you do not have access to most of the mail functions.  So 
our users will have to use something like
http://NOTES01/MAIL/JBLOW.NSF?OpenDatabase&login

IBM has had numerous complaints about this.  As a resolution I was pointed 
to a document on how to create an agent in a database that will mimic this 
function.  Now if I can get a developer allocated here to actually 
implement this.

Anyone else figure out a better workaround?
