Send Mail Script & Signature

[Troy Hyde]

I have set up a send mail script, and assigned it to a button...

I am in a 5 computer LAN and the script works on all computers, however on 2 of the 5 the default signatures are placed at the bottom of the email. I have verified all of the pref's are the same. I have even tried deleting pref's to create new ones.

How can I make the Signatures show up on the emails?

What e-mail clients are default on the machines on the two that work vs. the three that don't?

Troy,

Are all 5 Mac machines or are some running Windows? If you are running Windows, then it has been my experience that the signature won't come up on Windows boxes. There is a workaround:

This method will use the Outlook's default signature.

The only problem i find with the work-around is that filemaker doesnt wait for the message to be sent before continuing a script...

[Ted S]

Well that's true but I've found that frequently I need to get some other information for some other application or even Filemaker itself but I can't because the message hasn't been sent.

Also, apparently some mail clients don't pick up the mailto function properly... If this isn't true, some one tell me...

Cheers,
