I suppose this isn't a particularly helpful reply, but yes. The thing is,
it's not pretty and it was written for Claris Emailer. But if you know
someone who can adapt if for Outlook Express, I can send you a copy.
Otherwise, this description might give you some ideas for your own script.
Mine dates from those happy days when the AS Users and MACSCRPT digests
had the same message format, ie.:
Date:
From:
Subject:
Message text....
When the AS Users digest became the mess it currently is, I wrote another
script which automatically polices it up as it arrives, which makes it
easier to read and allows my reply script still to work with both list
digests.
You select the message to which you wish to reply, from "Date:" down and
including as you want to quote, and choose the script from Emailer's
script menu. A dialog asks if you want to reply to the list, the sender,
or to both. A new message is then started, appropriately titled and
addressed, with an attribution line, and with the selected body text
quoted. (The set-up information is gleaned from the selected headers and
from the Reply-To address of the digest itself.) You then snip any of the
quoted text you don't need and write your reply.
I use it for all my replies to the AppleScript lists, including this one.
When I need to start a new thread, I use a third script.
