Thanks, Michelle. Nice script - though I suppose it might be extended to
send an alternative reply occasionally:
set alternativereplycontent to "This is an automated reply.
My dear, beautiful, adorable niece " & sendersname & "!
How lovely of you to write to me! I'll be replying in person as soon as
possible, but unfortunately, your message was in "HTML" format (all those
colours and twiddley bits!) which my silly old e-mail program can't read.
:-( That means I'll have to find where the message is on my disk drive
(don't worry, it's perfectly safe!) and launch my beastly browser to read
it. I don't mind of course, but next time you write, do you think you
could get Daddy to show you how to send "text only" messages? I always
think it's such fun to see if I can write a message in good, clear
English. Don't you? :-)
Well, must go and look for that message! Lovely to hear from you. Lots of
love, Uncle Nig xxxxx"
