Why does this not surprise me? Entourage AppleScripting is implemented by
Mac developers who understand AppleScript thoroughly. A lot of the Apple

to "add AppleScript" without really understanding it. I look forward (sort
of) to getting to grips with this next week when I get Jaguar.
I gave up on all these fancy nonsenses a few years ago and decided to
keep all my contacts in Eudora. I've never looked back and have no
intention of ever using either Mail.app or Address Book, come Jaguar,
come Cheetah, come Kingdom.
And what about Unicode? At least in TextEdit and Mail it is possible
to type Unicode (slightly less fast than in Windows 3.1) but Script
Editor et al. can't deal with Unicode or display actual unicode
glyphs. And it's not only Apple. There is not a single usable text
editor apart from Apple's miserable TextEdit that can handle Unicode
properly, and sadly that includes Style and TE+. I do hope one day
we'll get to the point WinNT reached about 12 years ago!
