October 9, 2003 I've just joined the list (digest version so I won't receive replies immediately) but I've been using Emailer from the beginning. I'm now using 2.0v3 on a Beige G3/233 running OS9.2.2.
I couldn't find any list archives so I'm very much in the dark regarding the number of list members but I suspect it's not many nowadays! Anyway, to the point: I use a "Shopping cart" system to take orders from customers but the orders get sent to me in an email message with a falsified "From" address so I can't simply click on "reply" to mail the customer. Nor can I send an automatic acknowledgement. (No, I can't change the shopping cart system). I felt it ought to be possible to write an Applescript that would search the incoming message for the customer's email address which appears on a line of its own in the format: Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] This could then be used in generating an automatic reply to the customer. However, my knowledge of Applescript is very basic. I could probably copy existing scripts and do most of the job but I don't see how to grab the email address easily from the message body text. Emailer contains no string handling commands in its library so I guess the message would have to be either saved to file or pasted into a different application first? I'm familiar with BASIC and I can write scripts in Filemaker Pro but I have no knowledge of object-oriented languages. I'd appreciate suggestions but I'd also be prepared to pay someone to write the complete script. For someone who's familiar with it, I guess we are looking at a few hours' work?
