Comm-Unity Networking Systems (http://www.cnsplug-ins.com/) has updated its MMEmail FileMaker Pro plug-in to version 1.1.4. The upgrade offers full compatibility with FileMaker Pro 11.

MMEmail has a built-in email window that allows the end-user to compose an email message as if they were using a normal email client. From within the email window, you can set the To, Subject, and Body, as well as Attach files. You can use a special Auto-enter Hierarchal Menu of predefined email addresses to populate the To field. The Subject and Body of your message can contain Merge Fields to grab information from the current record before sending the message.

Merge Fields can be inserted with a contextual menu. You can select attachments via a file dialog as well as selecting container fields from a menu. When you click the Send button, the email window can automatically send the message, or store entered values for use with a non-window email function. You don't need an additional email client to send email because MMEmail sends directly to your mail server.

A single user license for MMEmail is US$35. To use the Server Edition of MMEmail, you will need to purchase at least a 10-user license for $172. There are several other price points on the purchase page for the plug-in. If you own a 1.x license of MMEmail, the upgrade to 1.1.4 is completely free. However, you'll need a new license key for this new version.
