Title: RE: email to replace fax?

Please advise if this is correct, instead of using faxes to correspond with your vendors (request quotes and the like). If so, and if you can export your database into a tab-delimited file, you could import that file into Outlook Contacts. Once there, you can create distribution lists corresponding to the groups of individuals you currently have in your fax software. In addition, Outlook contains fax-managing software as well.

I am guessing that you are looking for a way to tie an email client into your ordering system … That might be more difficult

Are you trying to e-mail or fax? If e-mail, and your database of recipients is ODBC-compliant, then try the Gammadyne Mailer - www.gammadyne.com. You can create "projects" based on queries.

Subject: email to replace fax?

I currently do my own price requests for equipment. (Purchasing does
everything EXCEPT computer gear.) I use WinFax Pro. I have a database of
recipients, organized into groups, based on hardware/software/whatever for
which I require pricing. Using WinFax Pro requires that I use my
modem. This is currently NOT a problem.

But I HAVE been thinking... Perhaps I could accomplish the same thing via
email. I personally don't use Outlook...yet. I'm still using Eudora. But
from what I've seen, it doesn't APPEAR that either is particularly
conducive to creating groups to accomplish the same thing.

So I've been wondering... Assuming I'm correct about neither being
particularly suited to doing what I'm wanting to do, does anyone know of
some kind of email "app" that would allow this? (I know that WinFax Pro
can interface to email. And I tried it...once. It sucks...assuming I was
using it as designed...which I think I was.) Other than my Eudora client,
Outlook or Exchange Server, I am ignorant of email package(s) for ANYTHING.

Thanks in advance, you help is appreciated. :)
