[I'm replying to a message I just sent out, but you may see this first.
The original message was put on hold by the list because it exceeds the
8K length limit. If that doesn't go through I'll break it up into two
messages and resend. I'm discussing changes to the AppleScript support
in the in-development version of Palm Desktop. I cannot make any
promises about when -- or even if -- it will ship, but I thought I'd
take this opportunity to let everybody know about some of the changes
they may see in the future.]
I see that the mailLabel handler on this page:
<
http://home.netc.net.au/~sunreal/FooDooLounge/code/pd_handlers.html>
Carefully removes the address label that is prefixed to the mailing
label (if I'm reading the script correctly), e.g.:
"Work:
123 A Street
My City, CA 95000"
In the in-development version of Palm Desktop I've removed the prefix,
so all you'll get is the formatted address:
"123 A Street
My City, CA 95000"
If somebody wants the old style, they can piece it together themselves,
but it's silly to put the prefix in there and force people to remove it
to get a usable mailing label.
You might want to make sure any scripts that look for the prefix will
work if it isn't there.
