Title: Re: Unwrapping mail
Thanks for uploading it to ScriptBuilders, Michelle. Odd that
SmartWrap is broken for the latest Mail. It still works for me in
Eudora 6.2.4b5 under OS X 10.4.7 on a PM G5, so it must be Mail that
broke it rather than Tiger (unless you're running an Intel
box?).

There is no
convenient way to unwrap text in email. Mail softwraps text in
outgoing messages, but many servers, list servers, and clients convert
them to hard wrapped text. There is a utility called Smartwrap that
handled this, but it is broken under Tiger. This script will do a
simple unwrap; it is not as sophisticated as Smartwrap, but it can
handle simple jobs.
It takes
advantage of the freeware TextWrangler from Bare Bones
Software.
To use the
script, select the text in an outging message window, and run the
script.
tell application
"Mail"
activate
set the clipboard to
""
tell application
"System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
my

tell application
"System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
end

to unwrap()
tell application
"TextWrangler"
set foo to make new
document
set the contents
of foo to the
clipboard
select the text
of foo
remove line breaks the
selection
copy the

close
foo saving no
end tell
end
unwrap

Failure is not an option. It comes
bundled with the software.
