I just fought against a similar problem to get data transferred to a server.
The following code works with IE, it should work with other browsers
in a similar fashion.
It does not fill in a form actually displayed on screen but just
sends the data by html post method.
Note that the data need to be URL encoded. If anything like space, =,
&, return, :, # etc appears, it needs to be replaced by the
"%hexnumber" form, e.g. for a space.

property theURL : "
http://www.test.com/test.php";
set textA to "somestring"
set textB to "otherstring"
tell application "Internet Explorer"
OpenURL theURL FormData "Value1=" & textA & "&Value2=" & textB
end tell

I want to grab "Game 7" and "+4401234567890" from the body, put it into this
from action which is automatically submitted to the http server.

I'm sure I can script Entourage to to loop through the messages in a
particular folder and grab the text strings I need but I'm not sure how to
go about scripting the http posting once I have placed my variables in my
http form.
Also is using an e-mail client the best way of approaching this or are there
any scripting additions that may suffice. I also know FileMaker pro
reasonably well, would scripting FMP to achieve the above be a good idea
given that good performance is required.
Any advice on how best to approach this is much appreciated.
