Create rule to use a certain sender?

J

Jonny

Hi,

I have several e-mail accounts i Entourage. I also have a newsletter I
send out to a specially created group, and it's supposed to be sent from
only one of these accounts, which is not the default account. Now and
then, I make a mistake and off it goes from the wrong account.

Is there any way I can create a rule that applies the correct sender
when I send to the group? Or is there any script or some other trick I
can use to make sure I won't repeat this embarrassing mistake?

TIA for input

Thanks, both Mickey and Barry.

The "Other account" script seems to need a repeating schedule, which
might create some problems.
The "Set Account by Category v1.0" might be exactly what I need! Have
downloaded and will test.

A million thanks!

Really the two scripts do the same thing, but in slightly different ways.

Paul's script uses address book groups to determine what account the message
is to be sent from because his script started life as a script for Outlook
Express which never had categories. I wrote mine from the ground up for
entourage, so took advantage of the categories as a better (to my way of
thinking) way of doing things.

With either script, you can run it manually to set the account of a draft
message window, or can set up a repeating schedule to run once a minute.

Yes, I noticed afterward that I was not fair to Paul. Hope he sees this
and accept my apologies. I did not understand that the "schedule" is
merely there to make things work. Not for me to obey in any way.
