Save it to what?
Thanks for the response, Paul. I should, of course, have been more
explicit. When I wrote "how do I script saving a message as html in
Entourage?", I meant "how can I use applescript to make Entourage X
save an incoming message as an external, stand-alone HTML document".
Generally speaking, I want to script the the same thing that happens if
I open a message, choose 'save as..." from the 'File' menu, and select
'HTML Document' from the dropdown 'Format' menu in the save dialog.
(The HTML option is only available in the dialog when the message has
HTML content.)
Specifically, I receive a couple of 'what's on' email newsletters from
local multiplexes, and want to save them to a folder in the Finder,
where they will subsequently be found by my web browser, and I want to
do this with a script that runs as part of a rule.
This is as far as I got....
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set UGCData to 1st message of folder "Inbox" whose subject contains
"UGCMail : Schedule" -- (would 'current message' work here, if the
script is running as part of a rule?)
save UGCData in "Studio!:Studio Files:Internet:HLP :Local
Pages:UGC.html"
end tell
Entourage allows an 'as' parameter for saving, to specify file type,
but its dictionary is not forthcoming about what exactly to specify. If
no 'as' parameter is set (as in the above example), the message is
saved as an Entourage mail file (type "M822"). If I add 'as text' to
the save command, I get just the displayed text from the message, with
no formatting or html content. I tried 'as HTML', which Entourage
didn't understand, and 'as web page', which returned an error. So
either there's a simple bit of terminology that I've been unable to
figure out, or I'm driving down a dead end - in which case, there's got
to be a harder way, right?
Thanks,
Nick
