That is the content of the html file which is telling you that the file you're
requesting isn't found. "404 Not Found" means the url you supplied is wrong.

Why does it end with a slash? If the file is the *Email.txt file, then it
should stop there and not have a trailing slash.

What is file_get_contents? I don't see that in the curl man page. To get a file
with curl, you simply supply the url as its only parameter, just like I showed
before. I'm also a bit confused by the "(my theEmailList)" syntax. Why not just
do "set theEmailList to do shell script…"?
