Hi All,
Below is a great script which allows the creation of multiple emails (in Mail) from a name/email list .txt file.
What I would like to achieve though is to add a Stationery Category to the email upon creation.
I found this topic http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=36657
But im having trouble tying it all together.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
