When using Outlook I can send email with 'on behalf of' in FROM entry. How to do it with Lotus Notes?

I need to set up the email account of one secretary to be able to send email 'on behalf of' her boss in Lotus notes. This can be done in outlook.

Example : FROM : Jenny Tan on behalf of Mr Smith

TO : MR. X

SUBJECT : Blah Blah Blah

When using Outlook I can send email with 'on behalf of' in FROM entry. How to do it with Lotus Notes?
The only way this can be done is to add the secretary to her boss' mailfile (the ACL). She then has to do file/database/open and select the server where her boss' mailfile is, then open his mail database. She can bookmark this for easy/quick subsequebt access. When she opens it, she will be in his mailbox and will now be able to send mail from him, with a statement similar to as you described. FROM: Bill Smith sent by Jenny Tan. It sucks, but then again Lotus Notes pretty much sucks.
