Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Always

I have created an Action button on the Memo form in my mail file (which is based on the StdR85Mail template). The idea is to automatically print email messages to a defined printer without having to go through the Print dialog.

Button code is as follows:
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Call ws.CurrentDocument.Print(0, , , ,"PDF Batch")
End Sub

When I open a basic text email the button works and printing occurs without popping up the Print dialog (as expected).

However, if I try to use the button on an external email containing anything other than basic text the Print dialog always pops up (unexpected).
If I then put the same external email into Edit mode, the button then does print correctly without the Print dialog.

I'm not sure exactly what the trigger is for external emails to print with/without the dialog, but the help tells me that using the UIDoc.Print
"If one or more parameters are specified, automatically prints the document"

Any clues?
