  • Fixed: Changing from system to user account did not work when 'Interact with Desktop' was enabled.

eMill unveiled at COMDEX; a mailing workshop that uses records from any networked database to produce highly customized email communication.

Active+ Software announces the official launch of the eMill ® Beta Test Program at COMDEX FALL in Las Vegas. eMill combines external database records with embedded content scripts to effectively produce highly customized email communication: customer notifications, invoices, receipts, opt-in newsletters or targeted one to one ads.

eMill organizes mailings as projects, to which files from various sources on the network can be contributed. Mailing projects evolve from a design stage to a published, rendered, and ultimately mailed status. Files can originate from the built-in editors or from favorite applications.

Linking mailing projects to corporate databases prevents duplication efforts and warrants the information used to generate messages is the most accurate available, a key benefit for timely or repeating email communication. eMill features wizards to generate the ADO connect strings and SQL queries that acquire external database records.

Database field values are used to dynamically generate text, html or PDF messages through server-side scripts inserted inside the content files. eMill exposes dedicated built-in classes and standard VBScript functions used from a specific scripting language: Active Messaging Script (AMS). AMS is strikingly similar to popular web-scripting languages, and is fully compatible with the ubiquitous Windows Script Host found in any Microsoft® Windows 2000 or XP basic system configuration.

eMill lets users precisely control the way each MIME part of a message is displayed inside the email client, in which order. A preview mode instantly renders and displays any recipient's message at design and scripting stages. Transmission is controlled and presented in real-time from a comprehensive queues window, and comes with scheduling and statistics features. Large-scale mailings can be relayed to any number of SMTP hosts.

Two versions are scheduled for release after completion of the 45-day Beta Testing Program: eMill Professional that integrates with Microsoft ® Office applications - retail price $695, and eMill Enterprise that connects to databases such as Oracle, Informix or SQL Server, retailing for $2,495. Demos of eMill can be attended at Comdex, North Hall, booth L849B. All attendees will receive a free, fully functional and fully loaded Beta version of eMill. The staff will answer questions on how eMill works in various environments.
