I have a simple Entourage script (below) which attaches a specific file to a
new mail window with some defaults. I9d like to do the same thing in
Mail.app but as an AppleScript newbie I find the Mail Dictionary a little
confusing. I9ve tried loads of stuff but can9t get it going. Can anyone
help? Any comments would be gratefully received, no matter how small.

Hi Eric,

Try this (substituting a real email address and name):

------------------------
set maddress to "email@hidden"
set mname to "X"
set msubject to "Test"
set mcontent to "Hi!" & return & "Bye" & return & return
set mfile to (choose file)

tell application "Mail"
activate
try
set msg to make new compose message at beginning of compose messages with properties {subject:msubject, content:mcontent}
tell msg
make new to recipient at beginning of to recipients with properties {address:maddress, display name:mname}
tell content
make new text attachment with properties {file name:mfile} at before the last word of the last paragraph
end tell
end tell
send msg
on error errstr
display dialog errstr buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" with icon note
end try
end tell
------------------------

I'm using OS X 10.1.5
