如何为iNotes界面添加邮件附件剥离代理功能？

Hey Clem, great question! You absolutely can integrate your attachment-stripping proxy directly into the iNotes web interface, letting users perform this action just as seamlessly as they would in the Notes desktop client. Here’s how to approach it:

1. Leverage the iNotes Extension Framework (Recommended) #

IBM provides an official Extension Framework for customizing iNotes, which is the most maintainable and supported method. Here’s what you’d do:

• Use Domino Designer to create a custom action (like a "Strip Attachments" button) that appears in the iNotes toolbar or right-click menu for individual emails.
• Link this action to your existing proxy. You’ll need to pass the target email’s UNID (Universal ID) to the proxy via a URL parameter, so the proxy can locate and modify the correct message.
• Deploy the customization through the iNotesCustomizations database or by extending your organization’s mail template—this ensures your changes persist across iNotes updates (unlike direct template edits).

2. Adapt Your Proxy for Web Execution #

Your existing proxy might be optimized for the Notes client, so tweak it for iNotes:

• Set the proxy’s runtime option to "Run as web user" (in Domino Designer’s proxy properties) to ensure it executes with the current user’s permissions, allowing it to modify their email.
• Update the proxy logic to handle web-triggered requests, using the UNID parameter to fetch the target email and strip its attachments while preserving the message body.

3. Add Client-Side JavaScript for Better UX (Optional) #

For a smoother user experience, inject custom JavaScript into iNotes:

• Add a confirmation dialog when users click the "Strip Attachments" button to avoid accidental actions.
• After the proxy runs, refresh the email view or reading pane to show the updated, attachment-free message immediately.
• Note: iNotes UI structure varies by version, so test your JS across supported browsers and Domino releases to ensure compatibility.

4. Direct Template Customization (Use with Caution) #

If the Extension Framework doesn’t meet your needs, you can modify the iNotes mail template (e.g., mail9.ntf, mail10.ntf depending on your Domino version):

• Open the template in Domino Designer, navigate to the email reading form, and add a custom button that triggers your proxy.
• Important: Always work with a copy of the template, not the original—upgrading Domino will overwrite changes to the default template, so you’ll need to reapply customizations after updates.

Key Considerations #

• Permissions: Ensure users have both the right to run the proxy and edit their own emails (required to remove attachments).
• Testing: Validate the feature across all iNotes access methods (desktop web, mobile web, iNotes client) to catch compatibility issues.
• Backup: Always back up mail databases and templates before deploying customizations to avoid data loss.

Using the iNotes Extension Framework is the best path forward—it keeps your customizations aligned with IBM’s supported features and makes maintenance easier long-term. With a bit of setup, your users will be stripping attachments directly in iNotes just like they do in the desktop client.
