Please. Dan implemented the scripting for Emailer, OE 4, 4.5, 5 and for
Entourage. They are all based on the same Apple Mail Suite but the scripting
has become more and more sophisticated. Nevertheless, scripting all that
text crap is extremely fussy and time-consuming. It can be done just as
well, or usually, better in Entourage than in Emailer. But for everyday use,
why in the world would you want to script this stuff when Dan has provided
everything in the app itself? Please, why?
I breathed a sight of relief when I saw some of the new scripting commands
like forward and reply to (which had indeed been in Emailer but not in OE)
in Entourage, saving masses of text scripting. I've done all that removal of
quote symbols, etc., by script, and will use it when necessary in automated
scripts, although the new forward and reply commands make virtually all of
it unnecessary.
If you really prefer to do this by script, perhaps you should learn to do it
yourself? Have fun.
