Sorry, I don't know why the email went to Alan, it should have gone to the list.
Hello Dave,
Is there an option for closing all windows in Outlook? I don't have it
to hand so can't check myself. I also came across an issue where
Outlook was set to HTML emails and all the email's body (from a
FileMaker field with an auto-enter calculation) appeared on one line.
Changing the preferences to plain text emails fixed that.
Best regards,
--
