I am running Netscape 7.02 which is apparently scriptable because

text of the email which is displayed in the front window and place
it either in a variable or onto the clipboard for a bit of text
massaging before saving it elsewhere as a plain text document.
Can someone please let me know the correct syntax to get the
information out of Netscape.
Is there anything in the dictionary that suggests to you this might
be possible? In brief encounters with Netscape in the past I seem
to recall nothing to do with mail was scriptable, but it's just
possible things have changed.
This might be a good time to point out one of MacScripter.net's
recently added sections.

I sometimes attempt to help scripters who are working with apps that
I have no access to. These dictionaries sometimes allow me to make
semi-intelligent guesses without obtaining the software. It's also
handy for scripters who sometimes troubleshoot from non-Mac
machines/environments.
With a little planning, creativity and luck, one could write a script
on a non-Mac box and then send it to their remote Mac. The Mac could
pick it up via a email filter script or folder action and send it to
a scriptable script editor or the shell for an attempt to compile. If
the script compiled, it could then (1) execute locally if the compile
was successful and/or (2) send a response/result back to the non-Mac
machine and/or (3) insert your stuff here. Disclaimer: I haven't
tried any of this.
This reminds me of my distributed compiling idea but I'll save that
for another day. ;-)
