John,
Thanks for your comments and examples. All is now well with the change from
"as text" to "as string". I settled on no 'as ...' at all, as suggested.

For this project, this did the trick all 'round!
And so... [1]
If you know anything about Macjordomo X, I'd like to hear.

Thanks again, John.

[1] - [mini-announce] Perhaps not worthy of its own post...
If anyone uses Macjordomo and wishes to maintain the slew of list-generated
standard messages (subscribe, info, help, intro, etc -- some 42 of them for
each list maintained) and has always wanted a better editing interface for
those messages (the window is a tiny text box for often long template
texts), now you can use whatever you want to edit them, like BBEdit or
what-have-you (so long as what you have is scriptable).
My applet (which is tested on 8.6 and 9.1, and 3 versions of Macjordomo )
extracts all 42 message templates to text files. When you've edited them to
your satisfaction, then you simply drag them back onto the applet and it
reinserts the edits into the proper resources. Straight text files, no codes
or tags are needed. This eliminates entirely the old ResEdit method of
manually editing with copy/paste/copy/paste, or of bearing the pain of the
non-resizable editing dialog.
[And by tomorrow, you'll be able to manage Headers/Footers for both list and
digest modes, for any list or the generic defaults for all new lists, as
well as a few other goodies that are tucked away in there.]
List subscriber address extraction is still beyond my reach...it seems
encoded in some way. But why? Even the pop passwords for admin are
plain-text resource data. Odd choice, except maybe for speed of bulk
sending? (But...)
I'll post a "real" package for download later this week, with the mentioned
enhancements, but if you're keen to test it (for me, for you), please let me
know.
Thanks.
