I just uploaded a script to my iDisk titled "OpenHTMLinBrowser", which will
open the HTML of a message in the default browser. You have to identify your
default browser the first time you run it. My iDisk can be found at
<http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/>. Look in the Scripts area, the
"Entourage v X" folder.

The script extracts the HTML from the message (error if there is none),
writes it to a temporary file, and then opens that file in your browser. I
had to use several tricks to make it work, and I'm sure there is a slicker
way of doing it.

Eddie, I'd be interested in seeing any one of your scripts, say the one for
Safari, which is my default browser. I wanted to use the "open location"
command and ran into the weird syntactical conflict with Entourage's "get
url" command, which uses the same Apple Event code, "GURLGURL", but wants a
different kind of parameter. I worked around it by making the command
execute in the context of the browser, but I'd be curious how you did this,
or whether you used another technique entirely.
