Lotus Domino server inexplicably shutting down
Lotus Domino 7 will run on a number of Server Based OS’s – which Windows XP isn’t. Could I also assume that this is on a PC and not Server hardware? Windows XP doesn’t really support any redundancy and will only permit a maximum of 10 connections. Does the System Shutdown or only the Domino [...]

How to export Lotus Notes document to OpenOffice Writer document?
There’s no built-in option to export to this format. You would need to find an OpenOffice API that you can call from LotusScript or Java, and make calls to that to build your document. I don’t know whether such an API exists. You can export to some other format and open it using OpenOffice, however. [...]

What should I do if a Notes/Domino mailing list keeps sending me stuff about SharePoint?
SharePoint is one of the Microsoft collaboration technologies that is going to be heavily utilized in the future. It might be worth paying some attention to this “noise” rather than asking this type of question instead of just unsubscribing from the list.

No I do not believe that IM history is maintained by default. Having said that, a lot of organizations are maintaining e-mail, IM and chat history for compliance purposes.

AppendRtItem gives an error because you have to create an item before you can append to it. Try the CopyItem method instead. This will preserve both the formatting and the attachment.
