Re: speak sender script problem

Title: Re: speak sender script problem

Due to changes in E2004 to allow unicode text support for all sorts of properties & classes, a lot of items are now returned as 'Unicode Text' instead of plain old 'text' like in previous versions. 'Say' needs a text argument, not a unicode text argument, and it can't automatically coerce, so you need to change the script to this:


tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theM to current messages
    set theMsg to item 1 of theM
    set theS to the (display name of the sender of theMsg) as text
    say theS
end tell
