Force links in lotus notes emails to always open in a new window?

I'm using C# to generate emails that are read using Lotus notes. The problem is we want开发者_Go百科 the links to always open up in a new window in IE but they always open in the same window when I use "Lotus Notes - Basic Edition" (8.0.1) but when I use the regular lotus notes 8.0.1, they always open up in a new window. I tried looking around in the preferences but can't find a setting that'll explain this.

(note: I'm using IE 8 as my default browser. If I change it to chrome or FF this doesn't happen)

Not sure you are still facing this problem or not, but for the sake of other users posting the solutions.

In Location Preferences, under Internet Browser, don't select "Microsoft Internet Explorer", instead select others and then browse to path of Internet Explorer - "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

Save it. Now your links will always open in different IE window.

When you generate the emails, are you able to enter HTML code for the links? If so, perhaps you just need to add a target="_blank" attribute?

The preferences for which browser to use in Lotus Notes are set on the client's location document, so I'm not sure if that's part of the issue your having?

This sounds more like an admin question, but the link will get opened based on the preferences in the individual client. In 8 basic the location document controls this. Edit the current location document and go to the Internet Browser tab. You can then choose which browser to use. It sounds like you have it set to use IE inside notes, rather than separately.

The fact you can open links properly with Firefox, Chrome means the issue is not with Lotus Notes.

I have seen issues where IE wasn't working with _Blank. Switching off UAE resolved the issue.
