[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 4410522, member: 12966"] Heh-heh, I understand. :) Thanks. I'll add that to a list of (possible) reasons to upgrade. That's what I thought. I've written a couple of AppleScripts already (for example, one to prompt for a memory size when running [url=http://rptools.net/]MapTool[/url]. I was hoping there's something a bit better than that, but I appreciate the confirmation. (Because AppleScript can't seem to run a shell script other than by creating a Terminal and feeding it a command line. The problem here is that if Terminal is not already, the "do shell" command seems to start two Terminals (on Tiger): one to run the shell command and another one that just sits there. 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, [b] ephemeron[/b], for rising to the challenge and answering a couple of my questions. :) [/QUOTE]
