Hi folks,
I am scripting Entourage to automatically send my vCard information as an
attachment. This is what I've got so far:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newMail to make new outgoing message with properties ,
{recipient:{address:"email@hidden"}, attachment:{file:"Macintosh
HD:Users:matthew:mpl.vcf"}}
set the subject of newMail to "Re: Your Mail"
set the content of newMail to "Here's your vCard."
send {newMail}
end tell
This creates the message just fine, but it doesn't send. I can open it up
from Entourage and send it (to a real address, of course), but send
{newMail} doesn't do anything.
The Entourage dictionary says that send takes a list of messages -- do I
have the syntax right?
You might wonder why this script has me attaching a file rather than getting
the vCard data out of the me contact directly. This was the only way I
could get the attachment to work. I tried things like
attachment:{file:"foo.vcf",content:vCardData}
But that caused Entourage to crash and return a connection error.
Clearly I'm just mixed up on some grammar. Any help?
TIA,
Matt
