Hello,
(I hope someone from Microsoft team will be able to comment on the issue described below)
A user of EntourageTemplate noticed the following problem with Entourage 2004 (not seen before):
Sometimes when creating an outgoing message with attachment we end up with something strange attached instead of our real file: "Attachment (PlayerPro document)". This thing is 0 in file size and is not our file.
I was able to verify this behavior outside of EntourageTemplate (to make sure it is not my bug) by writing a simple script to create a new outgoing message with 2 attachments:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message
make new attachment at newMessage with properties {file:("Macintosh HD:Users:tom:Desktop:sample.pdf") as alias}
make new attachment at newMessage with properties {file:("Macintosh HD:Users:tom:Desktop:test.rtf") as alias}
end tell
Sometimes you will end with one or two attachments saying: "Attachment (PlayerPro document)" (zero size)
The bug does not show every time. Sometimes you need to run the script 2 or 3 times. Sometimes you need to relaunch Entourage and run the script just after start. I found that this bug shows best with 2 attachments but I have seen it with 1 attachment too. The bug seems to "like" PDF files. I suspected that this had something to do with document type & creator so I tried to set type & creator of the document: it did not help. I also tried to provide as many properties of an attachment as I could:
{ name: "sample.pdf", file type: "PDF " file creator: "CARO" file: ("Macintosh HD:Users:tom:Desktop:sample.pdf") as alias }
Unfortunately it does not seem to help.
Any ideas how to work around this issue?
