Dave E Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I have an embarrasingly basic question about emailing from within FM. How? I just can't get it to work. The manual is singularly unhelpful. I'm running FM4.0 on a Mac with Netscape as my browser/email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 I seem to remember that you cannot use Netscape. I think you can only use Claris emailer or another one. Could be wrong but I think that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveOak Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Personally, I like the features of plug-ins such as SMTPIt and POP3It for email with FileMaker. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 The short answer to the original question is that Netscape will definitely not work. The only two email applications (aside from plug-ins) that work on a Mac are Eudora and Claris Emailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave E Posted April 16, 2001 Author Share Posted April 16, 2001 Thanks for the responses. What makes plug-ins preferable to Claris Emailer/Eudora option? And where do I get them? The only plug-in I have loaded is the Web Companion plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SendMail function will only work with Eudora and Claris Emailer since those are both e-mail applications, while Netscape is a web browser. To send mail using Netscape you use the OpenURL script step. You then use the normal HTMl style commands for sending an e-mail message (i.e. MailTo:[email protected]?etc?etc?etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
