Re: Is there a way to clear the "Redirected" status of a message?

Title: Re: Is there a way to clear the "Redirected" status of a message?

I'm pretty sure I sent my message in HTML for precisely that reason. Maybe I didn't bother for once, Plain text email messages hard-wrap long lines, inserting carriage returns after the last word preceding the 76th character in the line. Copying and pasting that into Script Editor means it won't compile. In your case the first part of the line's syntax actually is OK - but doesn't do what you'd want. The second part of the line doesn't make any sense on its own so caused a syntax error. Lust put it back onto the previous line.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    set theRedirect to redirect theMsg to "Gmail_Laurie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" without opening message
    send theRedirect with sending later
    set redirected of theMsg to false
end tell


(P.S. Why did you send a copy of your message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>? He won't be interested. I got three copies in all - cc'd twice.)

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
