Hello to all,
I am trying to write a script that creates an email with various website
addresses.
The Problem:
Long URLs tend to be cut by some mail apps (on PC side of things) because of
their length. When a long URL falls on multiple lines, the automatic link
become broken for people with PCs. Only the first line becomes clickable.
I'd say your best bet would be to have the script automatically
register the URLs with one of the various link-shortening services
(e.g.
tinyurl.com,
metamark.net,
makeashorterlink.com with its ironic
domain name . . .) and put the shortened link in the email instead of
the long one. Most of those services provide a SOAP
interface, so you should be able to access them from AppleScript pretty
easily.
