anyone have any idea on how I can maintain the font and style usage of the content of a message to a filemaker cell ?

Hi,

it’s a lot of work, but you can read the information parsing the source of the message

It figures … I thought that woul be the case and I’m just not sure of how to start doing that. I tried a few things and nothing seems to work. would you have any suggestions for a starting point ?

thanks again

Hi mm,

it real hard work to parse (this kind of) HTML-Code,
here is an example to separate all

tags into a list.
The colors and fonts are in lines like

<FONT class=3D"Apple-style-span" color=3D"#FF0000" face=3D"Verdana">

Hope it helps so far.

set LF to ASCII character 10
tell application "Mail" to set a to source of message 2 of mailbox 21 -- inbox

set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, "<HTML><BODY"}
try
    set a to text item 2 of a
    set text item delimiters to ("=" & LF)
    set a to text items of a
    set text item delimiters to ""
    set a to a as Unicode text
    set text item delimiters to "<DIV"
    set a to text items of a
on error
    set text item delimiters to TID
    display dialog "No HTML tags" buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
end try
set text item delimiters to TID
repeat with i in a
    display dialog i
end repeat
