Once again this is a good time to plug my Convert Script script which was
written specifically to handle the mangling that occurs on this very list
server. Apparently I'm not doing a good enough job promoting it since I'm
the only one who uses it.
Using it is as simple as copying your script, running Convert Script from
OSA Menu or your emailer's script menu and pasting. It also attempts to
repair mangled scripts or restores preprocessed scripts to their original
form.
Again, info can be found at:

A link to download it can be found on the same page.
