Sending an email from an Xpage, should it be this painfull?

here is the serverside script i run to send the email from a button, wouldnt it be great to be able to use @mailsend and return a http link? The plus side is i can put in html content this way and format it to my hearts content.

db1 = session.getDatabase("notes1/rcc","Applications\\database.nsf")
doc1 = db1.createDocument()
doc1.appendItemValue("Form","Memo")

var1 = "Employee: " + @Text(dominoDocument1.getItemValueString('employeename'))
var2 = "Craft: " + dominoDocument1.getItemValueString('craft')

var3 = "html tags" +
var1 + "breaktag" +
var2 + "breaktag" +
"a reflink tag + link " +
dominoDocument1.getDocument().getUniversalID()+"'> Link"
+ "close html tags"


body = doc1.createMIMEEntity()
subject = body.createHeader("Subject")
subject.setHeaderVal("subject")

stream = session.createStream()
stream.writeText(var3)


body.setContentFromText(stream, "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1", 0)

doc1.send("group or persons name")
