Got the folder with the scripts in it but no script menu. I guess its a
limitation of the Test Drive. Like the line that gets added to the end of
all outgoing messages and the fact that I get asked to "buy now?" every time
I send a message.

Hmm, yes, I know all of this. I'm new to Entourage but not to email.

I want to use Pragmata TT (monospaced) at 11pt. The question is whether
there is a way to get it or not ? I was thinking about maybe a recognized
but unsupported edit of one of the prefs files or somesuch.

(BTW, there are a number of reasons for using monospaced fonts for plain
text email. The content of the mail determines how significant an issue it
is.)

Well I really want to avoid Classic apps if at all possible. I thought maybe
there was some limited support for group calendaring via Entourage. Pity.

Thanks for responding,
