This is what I did.

The Approve and Reject buttons call a defined script on the web server 
(cgi-bin/Do_Approval.pl).  That script does a web service call passing in the 
user and the Approve/Reject value.  The script then displays a page of "Your 
Approval/Rejection has been processed".

If you have single sign on for your midtier you could alternately call a 
Display Only form passing in the Approve/Reject   
(i.e. 
http://WEB_SERVER/arsys/forms/ARS_SERVER/FORM_NAME?F536870928=ID&F536870927=Approve)

Good Morning,

Currently I have a plain text email that is sent to an end user asked for 
approval to perform some work. "If" the end user does a reply all and puts 
approved in the body of the email, when it is received, a set of workflow is 
executed. This is a bit weak because it relies on the end user doing exactly 
what is needed.

What I would like to do is send a HTML formatted email containing 2 buttons. 
"Approved" and "Rejected". When the button is pressed, the reply all email is 
opened and the right information is populated in to the body of the email. This 
way all the end user has to do is press "Approved" and then press send.

If anyone has done something like this, I would appreciate hearing how you did 
it.

Thanks
Mark
