Send email script / Entourage does not send.

[labyrinthian]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Send Mail script to send the contents of one field to its associated contact. Everything is working fine up until the communication with Entourage; the email is created correctly, but it is sent to 'drafts' instead of 'outbox.'

I am using FMP 11, Entourage 2008, Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Has anyone had this problem before? Any thoughts on how to get the emails to go straight to the outbox? I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Just an update in case this is helpful to anybody. Entourage will not send to the Outbox; it only creates a draft that doesn't open for you. Outlook, if set as the default email client, will generate the email and it will pop up ready to send, or ready to have the address added depending on how you use Send Mail.
