Extending Entourage

Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

Hi,

I wanted to add a functionality to extend Entourage by adding a floating window(panel).

The floating window will be active on selecting Entourage and a button on it provides a functionality to export the selected mails' content in text format to 'Text Edit'.

Any inputs to achieve this are greatly solicited.

I came to know that there is no way of implementing plug-ins for Entourage.

Regards

I'm not sure what you mean by 'floating window'. You can create a custom
view for those emails you want to export and use this AppleScript to export
as a text file.

Entourage Many to Word By: Allen Watson

This script will take one or more selected messages (or a single message if
open) and will write them all to a single Microsoft Word document.
