You're right, Paul...I've had no problems pasting huge blocks of text (well
over 32k) into the message window in Entourage. Here is the offending code:
--begin script
global emailApp, fmpApp
set emailApp to GetRightApp("OPIM")
set fmpApp to GetRightApp("FMP5")
my MailIt("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","subject", my
RelatedRequest("dbName","globalField")
-------handlers--------
to GetRightApp(appCode)
tell application "Finder" to set procID to (get first process whose
creator type is appCode)
set appName to procID as <<class psn >>
end GetRightApp
on RelatedRequest(zDB, outputField)
--64K of text in outputField
tell fmpApp to tell <<class cDB >> zDB to set txt to <<class vlue>> of
<<class ccel>> outputField
end tell
end RelatedRequest
to MailIt(zRecip, zSub, zCon)
tell emailApp
set outMess to make new <<class outm>> at <<class cFld>> "Outbox"
with properties {<<class addr>>:{<<class addr>>:zRecip, <<class
rtyp>>:<<constant Erty!to >>}, <<class subj>>:zSub, <<class ctnt>>:zCon}
<<event mailsend>> outMess
end tell
end MailIt
--end script
Obviously, I've replaced the chevrons with gt and lt characters...and I've
already established that the necessary applications are running. Thanks
again for your time, gents!
