Possibly, Paul B's "Reply Insertion/All Reversed" scripts might do some or all of what you need for replies, and you could adapt them for forwarding. Take a look at the scripts that exist and see what you think:
Reply All Reversed X \scmR Reply Insertion PREFS Reply Insertion Reversed X \cmR <http://applescriptcentral.com/ftpinwin.php?id=301> These are OS X scripts. I just noticed you are still on E2001. They won't work, because scripting for reply and forward got MUCH easier in X. You'd probably be better off with a "fix-up" script that just deletes the extraneous address lines...and no, I don't know of any yet. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
