Top posted to carefully preserve the question quoted in full below:

I have a lot of problems with Apple's mail client but I never use it. It apparently is quite difficult to send a simple text message these days. Mail.app adds kilobytes of HTML junque to everything that passes by. Even the posting was 47 lines and 15395 bytes long. Some I have encountered from Apple as iTunes receipts come up with 300000 (10) bytes.

My regular spam filters always complain about them for lines longer than 1000 characters and HTML content.

This list allows HTML for good reason. The Applescript editor uses styled text and formatting of code on the list can be preserved. Perhaps there is a better way.

But for an automated file you should turn off Apple Mail's HTML. But, as far as I can tell from OS 10.3.9, it's nearly impossible.

I need to automate the sending of a file to an address.

I'm using Mail to do this.. I did this so that I could avoid any junk mail problems that I've had before using more command line mail sending options.

The code works fine, although when the mail comes in to my account, it's seen as "junk" mail. I'm a little worried that other recipients will be having the same thing, and perhaps the mail will go directly to their spam folders.

Is there something I can do in my code to stop this from happening?

thanks

code I'm using below

		tell application "Mail"
			set lstEmailSender to get email addresses of first account
			set strEmailSender to item 1 of lstEmailSender



			set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:strSubject, content:strBody & return & return}
			tell newMessage
				set visible to true
				set sender to strEmailSender
				make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:strEmail}
				tell content
					make new attachment with properties {file name:strFilepath} at after the last character
				end tell
				send newMessage
			end tell
		end tell

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through.
