Change status upon viewing record?

[John Fowler]

I need to be able to change a record simply be viewing it. I use Filemaker as my email client (using SMTPit/POP3it), and I want to be able to distinguish between records I've looked at and those I've never looked at, as you'd get with a regular email client.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

The only way to do it reliably would be to restrict navigation to scripted buttons. (remove the status area) Then the script could change the status. I don't think that a plugin could get around this... but I could be wrong.

I guess you probably would click on a line to get to the email text via a GTRR, now this doesn't have to be a one-liner but a dedicated script borrowing some method from this:
