Filemaker Not able to send Multiple Attachments?

My partner has set up an email button and check boxes for real estate properties whereby one of our salesman could check the properties they want to email a client.  However, even after searching Help and the Internet, we cannot seem to find a way to send multiple attachments via FM through our Exchange Server and SMTP.  (Note:  These attachments are pdf docs already stored locally and created from data exported from Filemaker.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How does FM handle Word docs.  I'm currently mimicking the same function on the other side of the business and they only have Word docs, not pdfs.

Thanks, we'll try it.
We put the following code into a local variable and attached it to an email. Only the first file was attached.

"filewin:/R:/fmExports/Uploads/UPC_SETUPS/PDFs/upcsetup1RG100300.pdf¶
filewin:/R:/fmExports/Uploads/UPC_SETUPS/PDFs/upcsetup8LH100900.pdf"

Can anyone recommend a third party solution for attaching multiple files? I've read some tidbits about 360 Works Email and SMTPit, but I have yet to decide.

We FM novices find it hard to believe that they never thought of someone wanting to send multiple attachemnts in an email, but thanks for the tips on third-party plugins and will give them a try.
if that was the only weakness!
