Feature request (copy /paste without font andfontsize/style information)

2001-10-26 Thread Carl Erling

.Who needs to copy the style of an email text anyway.
That's not a feature, that's a bug, imho. :)

(By the way: Has anybody written an apple script to
grab either a sender's email of highlighted text
into the system pastboard (...without any text styles,
just the plain text) ?


Thanks
Carl

I'm pretty sure that text copied into an AppleScript variable, and then back
to the clipboard, will not maintain any styling info. So:

tell application Microsoft Entourage
set x to the selection
set the clipboard to x
end tell

That should do it for any highlighted text. For the sender's address, you
need to get a reference to the message, then the address (which will be
plain text) such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Obtained by running the script below on
your message):

tell application Microsoft Entourage
set aMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
set the clipboard to (get address of sender of aMsg)
end tell
