Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : Exporting mail to DXL

Hello all,

what I want to do is to export a selected message to DXL.
Problem is that I want to export notesbitmaps as GIF.
As this can only be done with Domino.DxlExporter I wrote an agent which should do the export (as the feature ConvertNotesbitmapsToGIF is present there). My agent works, when calling it from the menu. However, if I call it from my program, I get reported that the agent was executed, but the export file is not there. If possible, I would like to avoid using an agent alltogether, and use the Domino.DxlExporter in my program. But then the difficulty is that I only get a Lotus.NOTESSESSION from the PostOpen script which I cannot use to create a Domino.DxlExporter...

Please find the agent, PostOpen and application source code below. The application is called from the PostOpen script.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Martin
