Hi everyone

I am very new to the applescript scene but wa wondering if anyone can help me!

I send emails out with reference numbers at the begining of each email. eg. Ref: 8562 and need a script that puts the reference in the subject line for me.

The first time i run the script Ref: 0001 appears, the second time i run it Ref: 0002 appears, the third time I run it Ref: 0003 appears and so on.

Even better would be a script that

  1. Opens a new entourage window
  2. Enters one of my signatures in the main body of the message
  3. entrs the reference numbrer (mentioned above)

Any help would be much appreciated.

THANKS!

Hi,

I don’t know how to include the signature,
but this satisfy your other criteria

property RefNr : 0
property senderName : "John Doe"
property senderAddress : "john@doe.com"

set RefNr to RefNr + 1
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
	tell (make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Ref: " & (text -4 thru -1 of ("0000" & RefNr))})
		set sender to {address:senderAddress, display name:senderName}
		open
	end tell
end tell

Note: Save the script as an application to make sure, that the value of the counter is persistent

Thanks Stefan… I need the email to be in an html format. how do you do that! Thanks?

#8

I don’t like (and don’t use) html-mails,
an easy way to create a html-mail is to open the html page in Safari and press ⌘I

#9

Hi Stefan

With this script it opens a new entourage window in plain text, is there a way of opening the new mail in the entourage html format. The email I send looks something like the one above.

ANY IDEAS… THANKS!

#10

Is there any way of getting text into the main body of the email when I open it up with the script?

Thanks so much for all you guys help!!!

#11

I think that only works when you use Mail as your default email application Stefan. It’s a shame though because it woul be fairly trivial to do.

Sending html emails from Entourage though is another story and kind of annoying. You need to edit a few options in the account settings and then modify your outgoing email header. The biggest problem though is that unless you then undo the changes all email you send out will try to be html formatted.
