I imagine that you're probably already aware that Dan Crevier, who
applescripted Emailer, also scripted Outlook Express and now Entourage,
using a very close parallel to the Emailer AppleScript Dictionary when he
did so. So if you and others ever find that it's time to switch email
clients (either when you switch to Mac OS X which really won't ever work
with Emailer, or when you finally need to be able to read HTML messages, for
example), you will find both OE and Entourage still very intuitive in
precisely the same ways, and you'll feel quite at home in either. (The
progenitor and chief developer of all three email clients - Emailer, OE for
Mac, and Entourage - is the same person, Jud Spencer.) I'm aware that some
people don't ever want to use MS software for other reasons.
