Email is a specific and static entry in the Launch table that takes on special meaning. Rather than launching a document for editing, the Email option is used to create new mail messages. With this entry configured (by default, it is configured for Microsoft Outlook® when Launch is enabled), the email options in the Action menus will create a new mail message with one or more documents attached. If users leverage Microsoft Outlook, no added Microsoft Outlook® is configured by default; no additional configuration is required to use it. Alternately, settings may be modified to support other mail applications. Square 9 does test functionality with IBM Notes® in addition to Outlook, but any mail application that supports creating new mail messages using command-line arguments can be configured to work with the GlobalSearch email options.

The illustration below shows the proper configuration to setup email for use with IBM NotesNotes®. To create a new message on startup, Notes expects the text "mailto:" to be passed as an argument on startup. Files are passed by GlobalSearch in the command line are expected to be prefixed by the text "?Attach=", so that is also included in the Argument text box. Each file passed to Notes must be separately prefixed with the same "?Attach=" text, so this is added to the Delimiter text box. There are no end argument requirements for Notes, so End Argument is left blank.
