This folder contains a kit with an AppleScript and templates that show how all mail in an Eudora or Emailer 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 or you want to maintain a simple guestbook at your site. Please note that is 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 Eudora 3 or Emailer 2.0 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 the 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 to be saved in the format Mac TEXT.
After editing the template files, set the files to be stationery files using the Get Info menu item in Finder.
