At 06:57a -0800 11/20/2003, Walter Ian Kaye didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

If you can get by with inserting the text at the very top or very bottom of the message, then you could script getting the body of the message, prepending or appending text to it, and then setting the body of the message to the result.

I really should sleep before posting. Here, try this:

try
set {t} to text of (the clipboard as record)
on error
set t to the clipboard
end try
tell application "Eudora Pro" --use whatever your app is named
set selected text to t
end tell


-boo
