The script below requires the TEC OSAX (available for 9 & 10)
Eudora, like most editors at the moment, can't display Unicode as
such. You could well receive messages encoded in UTF-8 which will be
presented to you raw.
No problem. This script takes the content of the message, converts
it to UTF-16 and displays it immediately in TextEdit, The same could
be done with WolrdText in OS 9.
I'm not sure about the OS 9 version of TEC OSAX, but the X version
will not complain if there's no UTF-8 to convert, so the script opens
the message in any case in TexEdit.
If anyone wants me to send them a sample to test the script, let me
know and I'll send you a Greek poem -- you'll need the Lucida Grande
font.
tell app "Eudora"
try
set cantDo to get outgoing of front message
on error noMessage
display dialog "No message"
end
if cantDo then
--- make this all one line up to "after 3"
display dialog "
No incoming message to convert." with icon ,
0 buttons ,
{"OK"} default button ,
"OK" giving up after 3
return
end
set show all headers of front message to false
set s to get field "" of front message
end
set s to TECConvertText s fromCode "UTF-8" toCode "UNICODE-2-0"
set f to "" & (path to temporary items) & "Eudora Message"
open for access file f with write permission
set eof file f to 0
write (ASCII character 254) & (ASCII character 255) to file f
write s to file f
close access file f
tell app "Finder"
open file f using application file id "com.apple.textedit"
end
tell app "TextEdit" to activate
