This was already the case in the early years of D'Bridge, if you enter
messages via D'Bridge editor, then that trigger is immediately present to send
the mail.

But mail messages entered externally then that trigger is not present.
What I did then and still do is send the mail manually from D'Bridge via menu
option UTILITIES and then Process mail (manually).

But there is another very nice option in D'Bridge and that is via menu option
CONFIG and then Scheduler/Routing.
In the scheduler you can create events for sending mail. So you can, for
example, checks 2 times a day to see if mail needs to be sent.

I hope you can do something with this.

Kind regards,
Leo
