There are other issues, but they wouldn't apply to running a script from Mac Mail.)Really?  I'll have to check on this one -- I don't remember seeing that option in the Preferences.  Thank you very much!I agree with that!  The previous poster suggested Thunderbird and I'll probably look into that ... but from my point of view, the ideal operating system should provide basic productivity software and do a good job at it.  If it doesn't, it's no better than Windows where users have to download a bunch of third-party apps to make a usable system.  Apps that typically don't play together very well or don't integrate well with the operating system.Thank you, ephemeron, for rising to the challenge and answering a couple of my questions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
