Here are a couple of small scripts which while they are not a total
solution to your problem, they will get you some of the way there.
The first one will send first-name second-name <email@addess>, to MD-II and
open a new message from the current account.
The second uses the rexx tricks library to put the Email address, with the
same format, into the clipboard, so you can paste wherever you want.
I hope this gives you a start.
Regards
Jules
(Note: I tested this first script from a Shell only. For some strange
reason MD-II puts a comma between the second-name and the address, but
when the output is sent to a Shell it is correct.)
