You folks probably already have something like this, but I've written a
MacPerl script that automatically generates Outlook Express email messages
(in the drafts folder) for sending out unlock keys to newly registered
customers.
The script takes the CSV file PalmGear sends to developers as its input, and
then generates the unlock key and email message from that. It uses
MacPerl's interface to AppleScript to tell Outlook Express to create the
actual email and put it in the drafts folder. It also appends a customer
record to a file (tab-delimited). I'm sure this could be reworked to
generate mail for any other scriptable email program.
Anyway, if there's anybody out there who wants a copy, speak up, and I'll
email it to you (minus my algorithm for generating unlock keys, naturally).
If lots of people ask for it, I'll post it on my web site instead.
Regards,
Mark Peters
