tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to ¬
	make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"s", content:"b", attachment:{alias "path:to:file"}}

For the next urgency, BTW, you will find very useful the search function of this forum (eg, “entourage AND attachment” will throw the syntax you’re looking for). :wink:

Works fine here (Entourage 2004). Perhaps it was different in Entourage X?
Try modifying this one, just in case: “make new outgoing message at out box folder with properties…”

i’m also using entourage 2004 version 11.2.0 (050811) and i tried the “at outbox folder” but it’s still doing the same thing… i’ll try it on a different machine and let you know…
thanks a lot,

thanks jj it worked…

it seems that i have a problem on the other machine…
the script is working fine but i want the send messagewidow to be opened so that the user directly writes the recipients he wants. instead the message is bein put in the output window…
