Apple

generates this mail message:

which is pretty much what you want. Here's the AppleScript code so you can copy and paste it into the Run AppleScript action.

set theDate to current date
set theDay to the day of theDate
set theMonth to the month of theDate
set theWeekday to text 1 thru 3 of (the weekday of theDate as text)
set theTime to time string of theDate

set input to {theWeekday & " " & theDay & " " & theMonth & " " & theTime} as text

You'll need to create a new variable in the Set Value of Variable action and then drag it into the New Mail Message action to access its value when the workflow runs.

Hey all;

I'm trying to create a workflow that will send out an email that automatically puts in the date and time:

what I want it to read like is:

I have returned. Wed 11 May 12:58

What I get is:

I have returned.

Wednesday
May/11/11

The workflow calls three variables current weekday, current date and current time. I want to get everything on one line but I can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas? I'm probably missing something simple.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Aj
