Does anyone know of any incompatibility issues of First Class eMail and 
Filemaker Pro email script in either the WIN or Mac versions?

I don't know of any particular problems, but all email applications
react differently to the FileMaker's Script command "Send Mail". Some
actually send the email, some will display the email in the email
application ready to be manually sent, others will store the message in
the Out Box but not actually send it, and there are probably some that
simply ignore the command entirely (although I've not found one of
these yet).

Thanks for the input Harry ...

Unfortunately... the last description you gave is what is happening ..ie., 
ignores script entirely!!! I am at my wits end to get this problem solved. 
Please let me know if you hear or read about a solution to this problem.

You might be able to get around the problem using AppleScript and the
Windows equivalent, but I've never used it so can't help with that
method.

Alternatively you can use a plug-in and send emails directly from
FileMaker, although that means they don't get stored in your "Sent"
email box ... I guess you could CC or BCC yourself as a workaround.
