Re: Best way to edit mail template

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.

Hi,

What is the best way to edit a mail template?
We want to add an agent to a mail template and I just want to know the best way to do it. Should you create a copy of the original template or just edit the original? 
If you have a copy do you use the copy or the original?
After you add the agent should you sign the template with your server ID?
Do you edit the inheritance settings of the template so that users upgrade the design from the modified template? Do you modify the inheritance settings of the original template so users don't upgrade design from it? 

Anything else I missed?

Thanks
