Also if sending via your Email client then it becomes difficult to capture sent mail in your system and not all mail clients work the same.ĭevelopers have aimed to circumvent these issues by using FileMaker Email plugins capable of HTML and multiple attachments among other things. While good, these methods do have restrictions such as a one attachment limit and no HTML support if using via SMTP server. With the Send Mail script step this has made it even easier as you can either send via an SMTP server or your Mail Client. Sending Email from FileMaker is a common feature these days.
