Comments on: Lotus Notes Sucks http://eppsnet.com/2008/02/lotus-notes-sucks Online journal based in Orange County, CA. Hilarious anecdotes tempered by the icy chill of certain death.

Lotus Notes is awful. The fact that you have to go to a template (rather than an easy-to-find user configuration menu) is an example. I hear constantly that Lotus Notes is "secure" and the best for corporate wide deployments. This may be, but I loathe the interface, the unobvious commands, and the rather pathetic help function. Sure, there are some aspects that work well, but on the whole, I think I rather eat broken glass. Lotus is the one program I use everyday because I have no choice, and after 7 years, I still ask our IT department when we're going to get rid of it. Well, I agree… Lotus Notes is awful.

You (or your admin depending on access rights) can choose to use a different application (template) for mail. I suggest to use the OpenNTF.org OpenSource mail template which allows to configure the default action for a reply. This way Lotus Notes does not suck anymore. :-) Your mail is just an application that runs within Lotus Notes.
