tell application "Claris Emailer"
activate
create mail subject "" recipients {{name_old:strFullname,
address_old:strEmail, type_old:0}}
end tell
The above section works fine. I use it to create a new email message with
a blank subject line in Panorama (my DB). I still know only a small
amount about AS and to be honest, it still baffles me a bit. What seems
"obvious" to the AS experts just keeps going past me. I believe there is
so much more possible using AS than I now have an awareness of, let alone
that I know how to accomplish in AS.
I was looking through the dictionary to see if I could figure this one
out. Alas I could not. I want to alter this script to create a second
version that uses just the BCC fields. I suppose the to field would then
default to my name and address.
If I backwards solve this, I know that the fields:
strFullname & strEmail
were created by the first part of the script. And that would follow that:
name_old: & address_old: & type_old:
were somehow part of Emailer's standard dictionary fields. But where are
they? And, how to I change "address_old:" to work in a BCC field and not
a TO field, as it now works?
I have other questions as well such as, what is the use of having a group
command in the AS dictionary? Is there a way to trigger sending about a
group email, in BCC, from my existing Emailer DB, by just sending the
script command from my native DB (with an AS)?
Thanks

PS - I find that I am very much a visual learner. So AS, no matter how
simple some find it, is just a headache for me until I can see some
examples in action. Otherwise the logical solution would seem to be:
create mail subject "" recipients {{name_BCC:strFullname,
address_BCC:strEmail, type_old:0}}. But this is a total shot in the dark.
The dictionary is to me laid out in Greek. Arcane commands to explain
arcane functions. I wish I could see examples of how something is laid
out for real as a way of explaining it.
Does anyone know of a good source for this type of learning in AS?
