FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1160

• If you select Multiple emails and Collect addresses across found set, FileMaker Pro

generates an email message for every record in the found set. Each message is addressed

to everyone specified in the TO, CC and BCC boxes for every record in the found set.

• You can create an Adobe PDF or a Microsoft Excel file from your data to send as an

attachment. For more information, see

Save Records As PDF and Save Records As Excel.

• The Send Mail script step does not control the font’s appearance. Use the email client to

make any changes to the font.

• FileMaker Pro sends email messages as plain text. To edit the message's contents and

formatting, choose to send the message through an email client and do not select the

Perform without dialog option. You can then edit the message within the email client

before it is sent.
