Sending complex html in entourage

I

Ian

I've been trying to use a script 'send complex html X 2.0.4' but it doesn't
seem to work. I get an internet explorer error message which doesn't let me
get as far as entering the url for the weblink.

Outlook express 4 in windows does it simply - why can't I do it in entourage
X?

Help.

You're getting this error message because you're supposed to have the
website loaded in IE prior to launching the Send Complex HTML script. See if
it works in that order; it normally should.

Outlook Express and Internet Explorer on the Windows side are very tightly
integrated, which is why it's so easy for the user to send websites with
that combo. On the Mac side, you have a similar combination, Safari and Mail
(on Tiger); when using those two programs, you'll also have the option to
email an entire webpage with just one click.

Sometimes it works better to send only a link rather than the whole html.
Especially since many (most?) people have html previews turned off by
default (and the results are spotty at best). I have a java "bookmarklet"
set up to do this. After I have a page loaded and press this bookmark
(which I've put on the bookmarks bar for easy access) it puts the page URL
in a new email ready to be sent.

I've copied it out of my .Mac bookmarks, but since I'm not at a Mac right
now, I'm not sure if the encoding is correct. Anyway, here is the link. It
works in Firefox on XP, so it must be! Make a new bookmark and give the
location this exact text:

javascript:t=document.title;x=(window.location);window.location='mailto:?Subject='+t+'&Body='+t+'%20%20'+x+'%20'

Search Google for "bookmarklets". Lots of interesting and useful ones that
do everything from resize the window, zap plugins, isolate and show sizes
for pictures, etc., etc. Many of them can be accomplished via applescript,
but I like having a java "button" right on my bookmark bar.

Good luck,
