Reed Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 If I put an email address in the To: field of the send mail script step and then send it via Mail.app OS X 10.3.3, The address doubles itself like this <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>. If I put: Name <[email protected]> in the To: field, I get the following: >, <[email protected]> I can't find documentation for this annoying behavior... can anyone else duplicate this?

AudioFreak Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Do you have it set to Send the e-mail to your found set? Or is it only sending it to the current record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 just the current record. So I can loop through the found set and send a customized message to each recipient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioFreak Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Reed, I just tried to duplicate your problem with no luck. Hopefully someone else will have some idea to help you out. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I remember this when I used it years ago. In the end I just entered the naked e-mail address into the field, no names or extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonkyCat Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I'm having the same exact problem as Reed where the email address doubles itself. I'm doing the same thing...have a script that loops through the found set and sends a customized message to each recipient. I'm using OS X 10.3.2 and FMP 6.0 v4.

Newbies mhrdesign Posted April 28, 2004 Newbies Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am having this same problem with the Send Mail script step and the Mail application in Mac OS 10.3.3. The To field is incorrectly formatted even if I just put in an address only. The bug appears to be with Mail though, not Filemaker. If I change my default email client to Entourage the script works.

Reed Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I have tracked down the issue with Mail, and I have found that if the email address appears in Mail's previous recipients list, then the To: field will be correctly formatted. So if you send mail to each recipient through Mail first, subsequent mailings should work. Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Otter Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Anybody had any luck getting around this (without just using naked e-mail addresses)? It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
