Email script for Entourage X

Hi. I have a question…

I want to know if an Entourage X script exists that allows the user to
insert an email hyperlink from the Address Book into a message. I know that
Entourage allows the user to insert an IE link.

In regards to the IE hyperlinks, is there a preference that allows the user
to insert a hyperlink without the "<> around the link?

Any help appreciated…

Are you talking about just inserting the home page from someone’s card? This is untested, but it should do that. Just save it as a script and put it in Enourage’s Scripts menu. If you run it from somewhere else, you’ll need to add a tell block for setting the ‘selection’ in Entourage.

set eachLink to “”
tell application “Address Book” to repeat with i in (get selection)
set eachLink to eachLink & (get i’s home page) & return
end repeat
set eachLink to eachLink’s text 1 thru -2
set selection to eachLink

Let me know if that’s not what you wanted.

And, no, I don’t think there’s a preference that allows you to insert a hyperlink without the '<>". Of course, you could write a script to do that.

OK, no I can see that’s not what you wanted. You want to insert an e-mail link. I need more details, though. How do you propose the script determine which e-mail address you want inserted? Also, you just want it inserted in the text of the current message, right? Not have a new message created?
