Personalized email

[Rfox]

Using FM7

I have a field for the email address in the database of individuals. I perform a find and I select in the "send email" script step to get the address from that field and to "Get valuses from every record."

But for the subject, I need to say "TO " & [field name] Full_Name.

However, with this approach, it will send all the emails with the name of the First Record in the subject line.

Is there any way to somehow personalize each email -- either in the subject line or the message -- with the contents of a field?

Thanks!

The solution is to use the send mail step inside a loop, where each iteration navigates to the next record. This way you will send an individual email for each contact in the database, and the To:, Subject:, Body:, etc. can be different for each contact.

One thing, if you're using a loop , make sure to uncheck "get values from every record" or you will send multiple emails in each loop iteration. I learned this the hard way when I first started using FM a couple of years ago when I sent >200 emails to each of my >200 contacts :0

OK. Thanks. It works fine doing it that way. I just had hoped there would be an easier way.

Now Outlook 2003 complains with each email that another program is sending an email and wants me to say "yes" or "no" I authorize it.

Maybe someone knows a way to turn off this security feature. It seems to be well hidden.
