That is, with a calculation in the script and a reference to a stored calculation field & using a variable. And, as I mentioned, I tried using the simple Starter Solution. BTW, which update version of 11 are you using, are you operating in Lion? > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:35:54 -0500 > From: BEVERLY VOTH <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: No name with email address in FMP 11, Mac; Script Step "Send Mail" > > Steve, Does the format "[log in to unmask] (first last)", no quotes, work for you? > I found this article about using SMTP, but perhaps it works better for E-mail Client, too: > <http://www.savvydata.com/blog/2009/11/fixing-smtp-send-mail-error-1506/> > > Also, perhaps it is relying on AddressBook application for the displaying the name? If there is no entry, does it work? I'm just guessing! > > Beverly Beverly, Does it work for you? First, it is not an Address Book issue as none of these folks are in the Address Book. I have tried to concatenate a name & and email address in various ways. Including among others; TableOccurence::Full name & " <" & TableOccurence::Email & ">" TableOccurence::Full name & GetAsText ( " <" ) & TableOccurence::Email & GetAsText ( ">" ) TableOccurence::Full name & " " & Char ( 60 ) & TableOccurence::Email & Char ( 62 ) Quote ( TableOccurence::Full name ) & " " & Char ( 60 ) & TableOccurence::Email & Char ( 62 ) TableOccurence::Email & " (" & TableOccurence::Full name & ")" [As I said, with everything else being equal, including the Apple Mail program, these all work in FMP 10 but not FMP 11] Interestingly, if I try to escape the < > characters with a back slash like this; TableOccurence::Full name & " \<" & TableOccurence::Email & "\>" The result in Apple Mail looks like this; Joe Blow \<[log in to unmask]\> -- I just tried; Quote ( TableOccurence::Email & " (" & TableOccurence::Full name & ")" ) and this; Quote ( TableOccurence:: Full name & " <" & TableOccurence:Email & ">" ) and they both WORKED! Unfortunately, as discovered by this fellow (http://forums.filemaker.com/posts/7597d69cf3) using the Quote function adds literal quotes around the whole name + address on the Windows platform. i.e. "Joe Blow <[log in to unmask]>" I am not sure if it will send that way as I haven't set up my email account on the Windows platform. Most puzzling is why it seems to work for Tim, TSGal, and maybe Beverly.

However in FMP 11 the To: field in the resulting email messages have only the email address without the Name. In FMP 10 and using the same various versions of Apple Mail, the To: address would look like this: >> >> Joe Blow <[log in to unmask]> >> >> Using FMP 11 (and the same Apple Mail program) we get: [log in to unmask] >> >> FMP & FMP Advanced 11.0 >> Operating system version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 & 10.6.7 >> Apple Mail: 3.6 & 4.5 >> >> Just to be sure I tried many different calculations, tested them in the Data Viewer and in fields. >> I tested on local files and file on FMServer 10.
