Title: setting Eudora insertion point... HELP!
For the past 3 hours, I have been trying to script the SIMPLEST step in Eudora, and I am going to LOSE IT!!!!!! I have Googled my brains out, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out how to set the insertion point in Eudora.

Note: I'm **NOT** trying to set the body text... I do that elsewhere in the script with:
tell application "Eudora"
       set newMessage to make message at (end of mailbox "Out" of mail folder "")
      set field "To" of newMessage to recipientStringTo
       set field "Cc" of newMessage to recipientStringCc
       set field "Subject" of newMessage to subjectLine
        set field "" of newMessage to messageText
       attach to newMessage documents myAttachments
end tell
AFTER doing that, I need to paste in an inline *image* to the END of the body.
Can ***anyone*** show me how it's done?!??!?!! PLEASE?!?

****All***** I want to do is set the insertion point at the end of the
message body so that I can paste an image from the clipboard.
3 FRIGGING HOURS LATER AND I CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT!

FYI, this is the code snippet that I have setup... it works PERFECTLY,
except that it REQUIRES that the insertion point ALREADY be set.

The complete script creates the message as well (as above), so there's no
opportunity for me, the Human, to set the insertion point... the SCRIPT
MUST DO IT!

(By the way, the first tell block below is a handy way of creating a perfect
screenshot of a specific Excel range... that was WAY easier than I
expected it to be, NEVER thought I'd get screwed on the SIMPLE step.)

PLEASE, SOMEONE!!! I'M GOING TO LOSE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------

tell application "Microsoft Excel"
   set currentDoc to active workbook
   try
      set analyticsSheet to worksheet "Web Analytics" of currentDoc
      set theTableRange to range "B16:K29" of analyticsSheet
      copy picture theTableRange appearance screen format picture
   on error
      set clipboard to ""
   end try
end tell

tell application "Eudora"
   activate
   (*
      -- this code is SUPPOSED to set the insertion point... how the
HELL do we do that?!?!?!
      -- the script currently works, BUT it requires that the insertion
point ALREADY BE SET (bogus!)
      set theMessage to last message of mailbox "Out"
      set theBody to body of theMessage
      select insertion point after body of theMessage
   *)
   tell application "System Events"
      tell process "Eudora"
         click menu item "Paste" of menu "Edit" of menu bar item "Edit"
of menu bar 1
      end tell
   end tell
end tell
