mailto configuring Filemaker

[sridharandv]

Directly to the point:

I am trying to create a utility by which FM5 will hold the addresses of my website's list members.

I want to send a monthly newsletter to them.[About 500 addressees].

I have Eurodora Pro, Claris eMailer, Outlook Express and Internet Config and FM5 on my harddisk.

Problem is I can't connect any of the email programs with FM5... how do I do that?

I resent that FM5 manual says for the "Send Mail" script step:

under

REQUIREMENTS:

Mac OS:

Claris Emailer, Qualcomm Eudora Light, or Eudora Pro installed to send email with FileMaker Pro.

The Internet Config tool (version 1.1 or higher) installed and configured to process the mailto protocol.

And under

OPTIONS:

Click Address to select a name from the address book of your email application

Questions:

1-How do I 'configure to process the mailto option'?

2-The 'Address' option doesn't appear at all in my Scriptmaker. Why?

I think the issue is to tweak the InternetConfig2.0.2 that I have; but how?

Thanks a heap for your time
