Entourage print sent messages with list of attached documents

[orlando_l.]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I have searching on the forums and the web, for an instruction or guide on how to enable Entourage when printing my sent messages which have attached files to it, to include this list after the message header (like every other email app)

I was pointed to a script created by Paul Berkowitz, and I installed it, nonetheless it puts a line with the name of the attached files, but at the bottom of the last page of the e-mail.

I usually only need to print the first page of my sent e-mail, therefore it doesn't helps me.

Anybody knows of a workaround or a how-to on this?

thanks,

The standard behavior I've seen is to print images inline with the text
as you'd see them displayed when viewing the message. I've checked both
Thunderbird and Apple's Mail application and see no way to even print
just a references to the attachments instead of the attachments themselves.

Granted, I may have missed a preference for setting this, but this is
certainly not those applications' default behavior.

You can modify Paul's script, which is freely available for download
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/printmessagewattachx1.0.2.html>. Locate
the script you installed and double-click it to open it in the
AppleScript Editor application. Change these two lines:

Change:

set newContent to theContent & return & return & return &
attachmentText & return

to:

set newContent to attachmentText & return & return & return &
theContent & return

Change:

print newMsg

to:

print newMsg with properties {starting page:1, ending page:1}

Hope this helps!
