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.
