Me too. But I have a Yahoo EMail account too (still free - but probably not
for long) and stuff like this is automatically added to outbound EMails. Its
the actual cost of the "free" account.

set cityName to "St Louis"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}
set textItems to text items of cityName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
set newCityname to textItems as string

--> "StLouis"


Normally you have to reset the delimiters to {""}, the default (or to
whatever they were before, ify ou prefer) at the end of a script, since they
are application-wide and will maintain themselves in all scrip-t in that
application (e.g. script Editor or whatever is running the script) until
itis quit and relaunched. But here they've already been set to {""} so it's
not necessary. Never leave them as {" "} or anything other than {""} at the
end of a script.
