The fundamental philosophy of AppleScript is never to get round to
implementing things.
If anyone feels like making extended commentary -- or even just snide
remarks :-) -- on my AppleScript "babytalk", feel free to do so (though
perhaps off-list to spare the regulars). I'm sufficiently lost when it
comes to AppleScript that any and all feedback is gold to me! :-)
Regular listoons will not be surprised to hear that my main criticism
of your script is that you're using the wrong mailer :-)
Now for the good news -- you can use perl in AppleScript...
tell app "Eudora"
set from_ to get field "From" of message 1
set pers_ to do shell script "perl -e '
$from = q~" & from_ & "~ ;
%hash = (
q~@pobox~ => q~Pianomaker~,
q~@eremita~ => q~Direct~
) ;
for (keys %hash) { $from =~ /$_/i and print $hash{$_} }'"
set reply_ to reply message 1
if pers_ is not "" then set personality of reply_ to personality pers_
end
