Hi everybody,

I just discovered the following behaviour of outlook express (?) or filemaker.

I have an email account which has a different reply-to address (it is the only account in outlook so it is also the default mail address).

When I manually send an email from OL the reply address is correct, but when I create the email from filemaker (no dialog option checked), the reply-to address is the same of the sender (so it is wrong for me).

Have evere experienced this "problem"? Do you know an easy solution? (I would rather avoid VBS and similar tricks).

Thanks.

You might be out of luck though by limiting your options. FM will work with any default email client but you have no real control as to what happens, which is very relevant for your non-standard deployment. If you want that control you will have to use either one of the email plugins or revert to OS level scripting...

Hello, I think that if I start a DB from zero the idea to use OS scripting would be the obvious solution.. unfortunately I have a lot (!) of script which use 'send mail command' and, before to change everything in my database or before buy 20 0 30 plugins licenses I was trying to discover the trick inside outlook and filemaker.. that's all. Bye.

I did a sample of a os mail script (created by calc and exported from field). I made it to attach multiple attachments. With a little work you might be able to get it to do what you want.

It is posted on the forums. (this is a trick with vbs)
