Scripting

Robert Desaeger

I do not find away specifing for a specific word that is the body of
an email?

In Apples Mail program I have a function for selecting body. But in
Entourage I have header, From , Header, Subject and size. But no body?
What I am trying to do is if word contains in body Viagra or agra then
delete.

Can Entourage do this?

Well, how about the "content" property?

I think Robert is referring to the Find feature (or maybe Rules) not
AppleScript - please correct me if I'm wrong. Probably even the little
QuickSearch filter box in top right-hand corner of the main window? That
QuickSearch box is just a simple shortcut for the most-used searches, namely
From (display name only), Subject, To, or Category. cmd-F "Find" _does_
search message bodies if you don't check the "Search subjects, title, name
only".

The best way to search is cmd-option-F "Advanced Find" - also in Edit menu -
, It will search any combination of 25 or so criteria, including "Message
body".

Entourage is much more sophisticated than Mail, so not all its options make
it into the QuickSearch. But Advanced Find is pretty amazing - you can
configure it to find just about anything anywhere. There are similar
criteria available for Tools/Rules an for Custom Views.

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

I hadn't noticed the subject of the thread. I guess Robert must mean
AppleScript after all. Yes, Bernard is correct, as a glance at Entourage's
Dictionary should make clear.
