… applescript does not support sub-second timeouts, so it seems that this approach won't quite work.

That's no longer the case. You can return a fraction of a second. This should illustrate:

on run

set isot to ((current date) as «class isot») as text

do shell script "echo '" & isot & "' > ~/Desktop/isot.txt"

end run

on idle

set isot to ((current date) as «class isot») as text

do shell script "echo '" & isot & "' >> ~/Desktop/isot.txt"

return 0.4

end idle

echo email@hidden@nl | tr a-z@. p-za-o.@
