Lotus Notes is in-efficient

Tags: Lotus



When opening a document with a large attachment (read-mode), the Lotus Notes client will read the wole document, the first part of the graph below.

A picture named M2

The second half of the graph is where I chose to open the attachment. The Notes client downloads the attachment from the server a second time

It would be nice to have a workaround for this behaviour, which not only wastes bandwidth, but more importantly time.

(If you know the doc has a large attachment you could of course press <ctrl>-<break> when it's opening the document, but a method around this that doesn't require the user to do the ctrl-break thingie everytime he/she opens a document with attachments.)
