answer from Alexey creates MS Outlook eml files  so if you don t have Outlook e-mail client doesn t help  Answer from Chris is not possible because there is no save mail option  at least in version 8 5  in LN  So one of the possible solutions would be to hold control  select all mails you want to attach  right click on the selected mails  from the menu select Forward and it will open the new message with all selected mails in the body of the new message

The only way I know is this   Reassure that preferences   Basic Notes Client configuration   Drag and drop saves as eml file is checked  1  Drag your email to e g  your desktop  or to an explorer instance  will be saved as an eml file   2  Attach this file to your opened email by either selecting it with the paperclip menu item or drag  n drop the file into the opened email

I have been trying to do this for a while also  Here is what I do now  Highlight the email you want to create as a file  Click on Create  Hover over Special  then click on Link message  This will open up a new tab for the link  At the bottom of the message is a small yellow piece of paper icon  Copy this icon and paste into your message like you would any other file  It is tiny  so I put a statement like  see email attachment ----   in front of the icon  You might like this way  Not sure though

I have recently encountered the same issue and hopefully what follows will be helpful  In Windows  the default program for opening  eml files is set to Outlook  Every user of Lotus notes should take the steps to have  eml files defaulted to open via Lotus notes   Start menu--- Defaults programs---Lotus notes-- and check  eml--- then save   After performing this  Lotus notes will be the default to open these attachments
