I can't seem to visit this link. The authorization is asked and I enter
the email I am subscribed with, as well as the password that was confirmed
via the email from lists.apple.com, but it still says no authorization
(I tried no username and just my password, and all sorts of usernames with
the password to no avail).
There was a post about the archives being sketchy while upgrading - could
someone send me the resulting .html source file directly?

It's worse than that! You can quit Smile before you open NSS!

Don't count on it. My guess is that Nyanza wrote the OSAX to run in Smile.
Unless the above link does, nothing explains why the script runs
flawlessly via Script Editor and is only failing when run via an applet...
Looks like you're one, of only two, with any clue or interest, so I may
just give this up, though this seems like a bug to me and is
disappointing. I always loved the idea of AppleScript, but am concerned
at the status of it. I'll just have to live with the Smile hack for now I
guess, until I want to spend the extra amounts of time for stronger
results from a different utility created with a more robust programming
langauge.
Thanks,
