Re: Best way to edit mail template

[Scott Johnson <sjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Later versions of Domino made this easier to do.  There is an article from Lotus 
some place that describes the best practice. Sorry, don't remember where I saw 
it. If I remember correctly, Lotus recommends that you make a copy of the mail 
template and name it something else.  Make changes to this copy and base any 
updates and future mail files on it.  You also need to clearly document what was 
done.  This way when a new version of the mail template comes out, the change 
process can be very easily repeated.  Or it can be decided to stick with what 
you got for the time being.
