This was one of the more complex scripts I've done (before my monster shareware scripts). It was more-or-less custom designed for one user. As far as I know, not too many people ever used it. So when updating all my Entourage scripts for OS X, and having to create new PREFS scripts to replace all the scripting additions stuff, I think I just figured "let's see if anyone even asks for this one". I think this is just the second request. ;-) I'll take a look at it soon. > > I'm curious to know if there is a way to script a reply with a "Reply-to" > header... Sort of. You'd script a reply to 'without opening window', get the source, add a Reply-To: header to the variable representing the headers, add it back in to the remainder of the source (in a variable), make a new message with the same source, delete the original and open the new message. Quite possible. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
