Presently the only way to import an attachment into a richtext field using LotusScript is using the foreground NotesUIDocument.Import method. Like many foreground methods this is messy as it requires the document to be open on the user's screen, can be interupted via keystrokes, causes the imported text to appear on the screen, cannot run as an agent on a server etc. I would like to see the same Import capability added to the NotesDocument class so that it can operate with all the benefits of a background class..

Is this so different than the embedobject method on the backend? Never used Import, but they're the same aren't they?

@Dan. The NotesEmbeddedObject class allows code to access embedded objects, including file attachments. For an attachment the only methods presently available are ExtractFile() and Remove(). I would settle for an Import() method here too, but a NotesDocument.Import() method would have the added advantage of allowing an external file to be imported without the need for it to be attached to a document first.

With DXL you can import attachments with a backgroundagents.

Since the NotesEmbeddedObject lets you do exactly this: Import a file attachment to a NotesDocument, i fail to see any reason for having a new function for this. Seems redundant.
What I rather would like to see is the ability to place the attachment in a specified RichTextField instead, so I would like to see an addition to the NotesRichTextItem class instead: ImportAttachment(). I'm writing an idea about this...
