OK, I can't figure it out. Is it feasible?
In Eudora (where yes, I enjoy changing the subject line... oh, that's
another topic, isn't it?) one can do
set thetext to selected text
and get, well, the text you've selected in whatever message you're looking at.
However I've found nothing comparable in Mail.
You can get the whole text of a message -
set foo to the selection
set foo to item 1 of foo
set thetext to (content) of foo
(inside a Mail tell block of course)
but things like "selected text of content" don't compile, "selection of
content" doesn't make sense (because "selection" applies to the mail
messages window).
Any way to do this?
Charles
