Tested with Eudora 5.1.1 and OS X 10.2.1.

Barfs on Eudora 3.1 (which I'm still using on my work machine,
unfortunately) whether I use the international text name or the index of
the personality. I'll try it on the 5.1 version.

I've just tested this on Eudora 3.1.3 and it works fine without barfing. Are you by any chance naming the personality in the wrong case? --direct X= Direct

tell application "Eudora313"
set reply_ to reply message ""
set personality of reply_ to personality "Direct"
end tell

Yes. Or you could have a toolbar button run this script, which allows you
to choose any personality and whether to reply to all.

I'll confess I've never understood your love of toolbar buttons, John. I
use OSA Menu on 9 and Keyboard Maestro on X to produce a stack of
keybindings linked to scripts to perform functions. I can hit three keys at
once a lot faster than I can navigate a mouse.

My Eudora toolbar has 15 key-bindings so I only use the mouse for _very_ rarely used buttons. I think most people have no idea how powerful the toolbar is and don't know how to set it up. You may be one of them. Let me know if you'd like me to send you an image.


Anyway, the error message on Eudora 3.1 is
--> Eudora Pro 3.1 got an error: Can't set personality of message id
136249952 of mailbox "Out" of mail folder "" to personality 4.


Using Rob's routine, or mine, I run this script in 3.1.3 or 5.3.3 and get the same successful result:

tell application "Eudora313"
JJJJJJ reply message ""
JJJJJJ set personality of message "" to personality 4
end tell

(I've also tried personality "UKClimbing" and get the same sort of thing.)

Should be OK.

Ideas? It would be nice if Eudora would reply with the same personality
that it gets addressed in, but...

It does just that!

PS "upgrade" isn't an allowed "idea" as that would double my Eudora costs -
two separate computers.

What do you mean?
