how does this work? i copy and pasted the three lines above into
script editor and i get a compile error.
That middle line should be:
«event GURLGURL» "http://www.google.com";
The double angle brackets, or chevrons («») signify script information
in raw format. You can enter these characters directly into a script by
typing Option-Backslash and Shift-Option-Backslash.
However, since the raw code refers to a Standard (Internet suite)
scripting addition, compiling it in a script should cause it to be
interpreted as:
open location "http://www.google.com";
(Of course, you could just try typing/pasting the translated version
instead.)
I believe the chevron characters should now turn up correctly in your
email. However, the server here used to translate them into something
like "+" & ";" respectively (IIRC). In an effort to clarify their
meaning, many list regulars got into the habit of typing angle brackets
(less-than or greater-than signs) twice - to simulate the appearance of
the required brackets. I guess some habits may take a while to break.
