Comm-Unity Networking Systems (http://www.cnsplug-ins.com/) as
released SMTPit Pro 4.1.4, a new version of the email plug-in for
FileMaker Pro 7 and greater that provides a variety of email options.
The upgrade works on the client side as well as the server side with
Scheduled Scripts and the Web Publishing Engine (including Instant
Web Publishing).
This update fixes several bugs ranging from correctly saving
preferences to disconnection issues to bugs with the
VerifyEmailAddress function. The Server Config database now can also
be used through Instant Web Publishing. SMTPit Pro is available
immediately at http://smtpit.cnsplug-ins.com/ for both Mac OS X and
Windows.
SMTPit Pro is ann email plug-in that provides an array of email
options. You can send simple text based messages or you can send
complex HTML messages. You can send a single message or an entire
mail out. You can customize your messages with special header and
footer functionality to aid with email greetings and signatures. You
can also use merge fields to grab information from your current
record. Merge field data can be used in the subject, header, body and
footer.
ou can create email messages in a variety of ways. You can refer to a
field in a table, or you can build a message from several sources
including fields, portals, even container fields. You can convert
styled text in a field to HTML. You can even send a graphic copy of
your layout by using Preview mode and sending it as an inline HTML
image.
SMTPit Pro also includes two email dialog windows allowing you to
create an emailing solution with little overhead. The email windows
look and act similar to a normal email client; however, they’re
enriched with features relating to FileMaker. For example, you can
use a value list or paragraph delimited text to create an address
book for the To, CC, and BCC fields. You can use merge fields in the
subject and body of the message. You can also use container fields to
hold attachment files, or you can use a file dialog to select them.
A 30-day demo version of SMTPit Pro is available from the Comm-Unity
Web site. A single user license for SMTPit Pro is US$65. Version
4.1.4 is a free update for registered users of version 4.x.
