Name: placeaddr.aem
TO BE USED BY REGISTERED USER'S ONLY
This ARexx script is used to add an email address embedded in a message to
your Address Book as an individual entry.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT
----------------
You need to bind this script to a function key for it to work properly.
Call up the ARexx page of your Configuration screen in AEMail. Select the
function key you want to bind this script to. Enter the script name (full
path name) in the string gadget. Be sure you have AREXX selected in the
cycle gadget. You can use the file folder glyph to call up the file
requester to locate the script. Then save the configuration.
HOW TO USE
----------
When you receive a message with an embedded email address just double click
on the line containing the email address. The email address will appear in
the Clip window. Now hit the function key that you bound the placeaddr.aem
script to or select the ARexx menu assigned to this script and you will be
prompted as follows:
"Enter a Nickname for [email address]"
If you have assigned a script to the Email Addr exit you will have to
press the CTRL key when you double click on the address. This forces the
clip window to appear and allows you to press the function key or select
the appropriate menu item.
The email address you double clicked on will appear in place of [email
address]. You must enter a Nickname and it must be less than 9 characters
long. If it does not meet this criteria, you will be asked again.
The Nickname can not already exist. If it does you will get a requester
that says "Nickname is already in Use" and given an opportunity to
[Re-enter Nickname], [Show Nickname List], or th [Cancel]. If you select
[Show Nickname List] a list of all the nicknames in your Address Book will
be displayed in a listview and you can enter a name not in the list.
You will then be asked to enter a real name for the person whose email
address you have.
At that point the individual will be added to your address book.
You do not have to be connected to your Internet provider for this script
to work.
If you activated this script without passing a valid email address, you
will be so informed and the script will terminate. Before calling the
script be sure and inspect the email address displayed in the clip window
to be sure it has been captured correctly.
