I am developing a shareware app (made with RunRev - a 4GL) and have included scripts for opening emailers - new doc/email - having attachment already listed…the user then put in his recipient, subject etc.
I have done the above with Eudora, Outlook Express and others - BUT I cnnot figure out how to get it done with AOL.
Can anyone help me out by posting an applescript which:
Opens AOL creates new email doc places in a file attachment
Thanks!

A better question might be "Can I make an appleScript which opens AOL - new do - make attachment? -----------------------------------
So far my efforts have produced this script:

set tAttach to ¬
   (choose file with prompt "Select file")
tell application "America Online"
   activate
   make new document with properties {kind:mail}
   make new attachment with data {file:tAttach} 
end tell

Which produces the error: “America Online got an error: Can’t make a attachment”
