RE: Script to invoke Apple Mail.app from within exmh

Hi Marc:

Thanks much for this script.  I look forward to trying it out on my
PowerBook
G4 as soon as it is back from repairs.  Like you, I have been using exmh
2.7.2/nmh 1.2 on Mac OS X (in my case 10.4.9).  I think I also observed
the problem you described -- the labels not displaying properly on the
buttons in Aqua Tcl/Tk.  I got around this by using an X version of
Tcl/Tk, installed as a fink package.  It is not as pretty as the Aqua
version but does display properly and runs faces without a segmentation
fault.

I have a question for you about displaying attachments in exmh on Mac OS
X.  I have only been successful in getting my .mailcap file to run
antiword to display MS WORD files as flat text inline.  Have you been
able to figure out how to get the mailcap file to spawn PowerPoint and
Excel when these types of files are attached to an email?

Thanks again for sharing the Mail.app script!

Hi,

I am a long-time exmh user (and big fan of it), even on Mac OSX now.
But from time to time I want to open a message in Apple's Mail.app.
An applescript and instructions on how to achieve this are available
at [1].

If other users have Mac OSX specific Exmh enhancements, I'd be glad
to learn more about it.

Thanks in advance,
  Marc Baaden
