This folder contains a kit with an AppleScript and templates that show how all mail in an Eudora Mailbox can published on the web using PageSpinner.
This kit can be useful if you run a small mailing list and you need to publish mails on the web. Please note that is really, really, _really_ bad netiquette to publish private email or mail from people who are not aware that their mail will be available on the web. MailSpinner requires Eduora 3 or later.
To use this kit you are required to know some basics on how to use AppleScript and the Script editor.
You can find out more about how to modify and use AppleScripts in the documentation inside the "AppleScript_Documentation" folder located in PageSpinner's Documentation folder.
Please make a backup copy of this folder, and use this copy before you start modifying the contents.
It is always great to have a backup copy around if something goes wrong...
If you are using WorldScript with double-byte character input you should edit the template files and use the menu File : Set Filing Options... to set each file file to be saved in the format Mac TEXT.
To publish an Eduora Mailbox:
- launch PageSpinner
- launch Eduora
- open the AppleScript "MailSpinner Script" with Script Editor
- edit the line
set databaseName to "My Mailing List"
to the name of the Eudora mailbox that you want turn into HTML
-edit the two lines in the script
set psStationeryName to "Spinning HD:PageSpinner 2.0:Goodies:MailSpinner:Mail_List_.html"
set psRecordName to "Spinning HD:PageSpinner 2.0:Goodies:MailSpinner:Mail_Record.html"
to have the correct path to the template files.
- run the script
- the resulting file will be named "mail_list.html"
