<sigh>...okay....real examples:
"Primary Information" instead of "default address" If you aren't conversant
with Eudora, "Primary Information" is unclear and ambiguous, "Default
Address" is not.
I don't know what that is supposed to be an "example" of. We are
talking about scripting, aren't we? All you have shown so far is
that you are capable of talking a great deal about things you know
nothing about. I don't know where you get this "Primary Information"
thing from -- it's certainly not in the dictionary.
The nickname expansion in Eudora is too limited compared to Entourage.
No department entry for the work address in Eudora. This is critical when
you have identical titles in different divisions.
You can create any field you like in a Eudora nickname and read it.
There are absolutely no limits. If you need a field for hair colour,
you create it.
As far as Eudora's dictionary goes:
No terms that allow me to create address book entries.
Balls!
tell application "Eudora"
set p to "Peter_Piper"
set fFriends to a reference to nickname file "Friends"
if not (exists nickname p in fFriends) then
make nickname at end of fFriends with data p
end
set mMan to a reference to nickname p in fFriends
tell mMan
set field "name" to "Peter Piper"
set field "first" to "Peter"
set field "last" to "Piper"
set field "address1" to "Pepper Parade"
set field "address2" to "Pickle Factory"
set field "favourite food" to "pickled pepper"
set addresses to "email@hidden, email@hidden"
end
end
No terms that allow me to create or modify existing signatures
Nonsense again.
No terms to set the LDAP/Finger servers
<x-eudora-setting:228> Host to use for LDAP queries
<x-eudora-setting:8403> Port for finger requests
<x-eudora-setting:103> Host to use for finger queries
<x-eudora-setting:7611> Default LDAP search filter
etc etc. -- all easily findable in the settings list with the keystroke cmd-f.
No terms to allow me to set a POP/IMAP account
ditto
No terms for searching the address book
Eudora's searching is second to none, extremely fast and allows
seraching with regular expressions
The Eudora toolbar is only a great feature if you hate script menus,
and a clear interface obviates the need for custom F-keys. But if
*you* like it, great. I personally dislike large toolbars...
Wrong again. Eudora's toolbar can
1. be shown or hidden by AE
2. be completely confugured with AE
3. have buttons of any size of shape you like -AE
4. show icons or text or both
5. be aligned with any edge of the screen with AE or
6. be made floating and placed where you like - with AE
All the setting numbers - and there are hundreds of them published
and many more secret - are available in a flash at the click of a
toolbar button and clearly explained. The value of the settings can
also be changed by simply command clicking in the setting, without
the need to use AE.
Since you clearly have no idea about Eudora and its potential, you
had better pipe down and cease disseminating false information.
