Adding Mac OS X Mail Items to a Message List Field

In message list fields, you can store aliases to Mac OS X Mail messages, notes, and RSS articles that are relevant to a specific record. For instructions on creating message list fields, see ”Creating Message List Fields” on page 89.

Note  Storing an alias in Bento does not store the email message in Bento; it simply links to the message that’s in Mail. If you remove the message from Mail, the message will also be removed from Bento.

To add a Mac OS X Mail message, note or RSS article to a message list field:

1	Select a form in the navigation bar or choose View > Form View > Form Name.

2	In the bottom-left corner of the message list field, click to open the Mac OS X Mail application.

3	In Mac OS X Mail, select a folder that contains messages, notes, or RSS articles.

4	Drag one or more items to the message list field.

Tip  Click to show the fields for the message list field in the Fields pane.

To open the items in Mac OS X Mail, see ”Working with Files Stored in File List Fields and Message List Fields” on page 98.
