Hello,

The partial script below "says" the subjects and the senders' names out
loud. If I receive lots of mail the announcements can really annoy. I use it
in Entourage. Is there a way to get it to display the items instead ? I am a
novice


tell application "Finder"
try
if isre is not 1 then
say "You have received an e-mail from," & mysender & "," &
"about," & mysubject
else
say "You have received a reply too, " & myreply & ", from "
& mysender
end if
end try
end tell
end ProcessMsg

You don't need to "tell" the Finder to do anything as scripting addition commands don't require it. Substitute the "display dialog" command for the "say" command and it will put a dialog on your screen instead of the voicing the text. This may not be what you want, since the dialog is modal, meaning you can't do anything else until you dismiss the dialog. Give it a try and see if you like it.
