  • Note: By default Domino Designer doesn't know what to do with a .dxl file so you will need to tell it.
  • Open the preferences via File -> Preferences...
  • Select General / Content Types
  • Expand the Text entry and then select the XML entry.
  • Add a new file association for *.dxl

GravatarImage2 - Hi,

I found this plug in interesting.
Actually I am quite new to notes, domino designer.
I am looking for, is there any way we can use the notes domino designer to open and view the email present in the notes databases, in DXL view and manipulate the DXL content of it.
can we achieve this with this plug-in?
