Hi,
I’m not a scripter, but based on a tip from a friend i think it should be somthink like this
tell application "Mail"
click menu item "Arabic (Windows)" of menu "Text Encoding" of menu "Message" of process "Mail"
end tell
The thing is Script Editor never allowes me to save it.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are trying to script the Graphic User Interface (GUI), so here is a snippet from Apple from the above link:
This should work for you once you activate GUI scripting:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/01.html
tell application Mail
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process Mail
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Message"
tell menu "Text Encoding"
click menu item "Arabic (Windows)"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
return true
on error error_message
return false

ok, when i try to compile it i get “Expected function name, command name or function name but found “error”.”
and i compiled it like this
tell application Mail
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process Mail
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Message"
tell menu "Text Encoding"
click menu item "Arabic (Windows)"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
but stil didn’t work
And qafter many many tests i did
tell application "Mail"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Message"
tell menu item "Text Encoding"
click menu item "Arabic (Windows)"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
but i get the error:
System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
when i try to run it with the “click menu item “Arabic (Windows)”” selected.
Any idea?
