Re: Copy Entire Message

Title: Re: Copy Entire Message

Here's a script that uses the "forward" method for you:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set c to current messages
    try
        set aMsg to item 1 of c
    on error
        display dialog "No message selected."
        return
    end try
    set newMsg to forward aMsg without opening window
    set t to content of newMsg
    delete newMsg -- Moves to Deleted Items
    delete newMsg -- Really delete it.
    set p1 to (offset of "------ Forwarded Message" in t) + 25
    set p2 to (offset of "------ End of Forwarded Message" in t) - 1
    set t to text p1 thru p2 of t
end tell
display dialog "Message copied to clipboard."
set the clipboard to t
