Email Attachment

[Mental]

I want to be able to create an email with an attachment. The user will create a record in a table named email. There are three fields, subject, body, and attachment. The send email script puts all of these fields together but when it sends the email, it puts the attachment on top of the text. Is there any way to send the email properly with the text on top and the attachment on the bottom?

Are you using some kind of email clients?

I am using OS X's Mail program. I have no idea why it is putting the attachment in front of the text. Can you recommend a good (And extremely simple) smtp plugin instead?

About the plugin, I just read couple of reading in here. Some people are using SMTP It plugins.

I am not sure what do you want to achieve. Try to search "Blat" and for the information. Also, some members maybe can help you out by giving their experience in using SMTP plugins.

Hope helps..

Just recently I set up the same scenario in an invoicing database. I set up a script to take invoice information (client, date, item, cost, etc) and display it on layout with our invoice graphic. The script then saves this record as a PDF to a folder on the user's desktop. (using applescript to generate this folder if it doesn't exist) Then it creates an email using client's information for account name, contact and email address and generates an email.

The email first copies text from a generic text I preset in a global field, inserts text from the invoice (amount, due date, etc) and then attaches the PDF that was stored earlier the desktop.

It does put the text first, followed by the attachment. I don't recall having to designate any settings in Mail or in filemaker to display the PDF on top or below the message text.

If you want, I can list script steps in more detail.

I'm using filemaker 9.0, and apple 10.4. Hope this helps.
