Emailing using xMail?

[Mark Bowen]

Hi there,

I was just wondering if someone could help me with a (hopefully) small problem I am having.

I recently downloaded the xMail OSAX from http://www.osaxen.com and have successfully configured an email script for our SMTP server. This all works fine with the Apple Script Editor and hard coded values.

The problem I am having is that I need to be able to send the following variables from Filemaker to the script

emailSubject - emailMessage - emailSender - emailRecipient

I currently have them hard coded into the script but would like to be able to fill in some fields in Filemaker and then have Filemaker send these values to the script (should it be a script document or saved as an application?) and then perform the script using these values.

Part of the xMail script is shown below

on sendEmail()

--> customize the following variables as you wish

set |to| to emailRecipient

set |from| to emailSender

end sendEmail

As you can see I would like to be able to fill in a field in Filemaker called emailRecipient and a field called emailSender and then pass these values to the script and perform it. There will also be two other (possibly more) field values needing to be sent.

I took a look at the help file in Filemaker but they only came up with a :

Perform AppleScript ["tell application "My Applet" to doMyRoutine()"]

which didn't show me how to pass variables to the script.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mark Bowen
