if s is "" then return beep

Two comments:

1. I think that "return beep" may be unsafe under OSX. I don't know why nor when , but this construction crashes. I loved returning beep but now I advise to write 4 lines: "if ... end/beep/return/end if" (or 2, see below).

2. It is not safe to compare s to "". This will fail if s is longer than 32 KB. One should rather write:

---------------------
if s's length is 0 then ...
---------------------

You can modify it to get just the selection or to insert into an inferior mailer.

I don't have an inferior mailer, but I have a superior mailer, and I could modify your script for it.

This script takes the whole contents of Smile's front (text or script) window and pastes it at the insertion point in Eudora's front (text or message) window.

--------------------- autotested !!!
tell application "Smile"
set s to text of window 1
if s's length is 0 then beep
if s's length is 0 then return
set s to change tab into " " in s
end tell
tell application "Eudora"
set the selected text to s
end tell
---------------------

PS
Now, if you have an inferior mailer, you may want to try to get "text of window 1 as styled text". Unless I'm missing something Eudora seems to care little about styled text.
