AppleScript for Auto Reply to an email with an Attachment????

Question

Forgive me. All this applescript stuff is fairly new to me. I've set up my Entourage email to automatically reply to certain rules that I have created. Well, I'm trying to have an attachment added to those auto replied emails. How can this be done? I'v researched for days and can only find stuff concerning Outlook Express which you are apparently given an option to add an attachment other than the mere text reply. Any info would be great!
Thanks much,
Robert

Answer 1

try this Robert, works here for me using Entourage 11.3.3
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theOrigionalMessage to the current messages
end tell
repeat with theMsg in theOrigionalMessage
my ProcessMsg(theMsg)
end repeat
on ProcessMsg(theMsg)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
set theSender to sender's address of theMsg
set theSubject to "Heres your attachment"
set theBody to "test"
set _Attachment to "Macintosh HD:Users:Budgie:Desktop:TEST.txt" as alias
set MyReply to make new outgoing message with properties {recipient:theSender, subject:"Hello: " & theSubject, content:theBody}
make new attachment at MyReply with properties {file:_Attachment}
open MyReply --comment out if you dont need to view
--send MyReply -- un comment to send without viewing
end tell
end ProcessMsg
