  • Thread-topic: Mail Script to remove AUGD from Subject

Hello All,

Barry Wainwright provided this script for Ent 2008.

"tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set currentMessages to the current messages
    repeat with theMsg in the currentMessages
        set str to the subject of theMsg
        if str begins with "AUGD:" then
            set str to text 6 thru -1 of str
            try
                repeat until first character of str is not " "
                    set str to text 2 thru -1 of str
                end repeat
            on error
                -- str is empty
                set str to "<No Subject"
            end try
            set subject of theMsg to str
        end if
    end repeat
end tell"

Wanted to try it in the Apple Mail Program on OS X 10.5.6.

Simple, change "Microsoft Entourage" to "Mail" in the 2nd line, I thought?

On doing this and trying to get the script to compile, get an error message
as follows
"Syntax Error
Expected end of line but found plural class name."

Is the syntax required for the Apple Mail program different to that required
for the Apple Mail Program?
