To do this, you really need to use the NotesRichTextDocLink class available in Domino R6. This gives you exactly what you are looking for, and the Domino R6 Help contains reasonably useful examples. For a Domino R5 solution, you may have to buy the Midas Rich Text LSX Toolkit from Genii Software, which provides advanced access to Rich Text field properties.
If neither of these is an option, I would suggest you get a copy of the Lotus Notes XML Toolkit. I can no longer find a link to this download, as IBM is more aggressive about pushing us to upgrade than Iris was.
At any rate, using the DXLexporter class exposed by the toolkit, you should be able to dump the Lotus Notes document in question (Memo1) to an XML file. You can then parse the file looking for a node that looks something like this:
<noteinfo noteid='2534a' unid='6D19CA3D04611C288625705B0055F690' sequence='2'>
<created><datetime dst='true'>20050812T103856,80-05</datetime></created>
<modified><datetime dst='true'>20050812T103906,48-05</datetime></modified>
<revised><datetime dst='true'>20050812T103906,47-05</datetime></revised>
<lastaccessed><datetime dst='true'>20050812T103906,47-05</datetime></lastaccessed>
<addedtofile><datetime dst='true'>20050812T103906,02-05</datetime></addedtofile>
</noteinfo>
Then, its a few simple steps to get the target Lotus Notes database, get the link target and render it into a new e-mail using the RenderToRTitem method of NotesDocument. Hopefully, you or one of your colleagues already has a copy of the Lotus Notes XML Toolkit. If you have trouble finding it, you might consider routing the e-mail through a mail-in database in a DominoR6 server.
