Hmmm. The first two times I tried that script Entourage did prompt me to
save before printing, but now when I tried it again, it did not. Weird.

"Quoted Printable" if I remember right. Dan Crevier wrote an OSAX to strip
out this stuff, which I have used with Claris Emailer and BBEdit under OS 9.
The OSAX is available here:
<http://www.boingo.org/dan/software/Programming.html>
But I have not been able get this OSAX to work in OS X.
I tried to duplicate the case which put QP codes in the BBEdit window, and
this time the codes did not appear. More weirdness. Maybe the
non-repeatable glitches were happening because I was running scripts from
within Script Editor, and not within the applications.
In any case, thanks for your help, Paul.
