I haven't done much with Applescript, so I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I have a solution that automatically sends e-mails, using the Send Mail script step. It works fine, but different e-mail applications behave differently. Mail and Entourage will both send the e-mails automatically (when "show dialog" is unchecked), but Eudora "queues" them until the user manually tells Eudora to send the Queue (or upon quit, but who quits applications anymore?). For the life of me I can't find a setting anywhere in Eudora to automatically send the queue every 10 minutes, even though I could swear that used to be an option (this is with the latest version). If someone can tell me how to fix this behavior, it would solve my problem.

Assuming I'm stuck with Eudora and its Queue, I figured I would use AppleScript to tell Eudora to send the queue after the script runs. But only if Eudora is already running (I don't want to launch Eudora if the user uses a different e-mail client but has Eudora installed for whatever reason). I tried the following:

tell application "Finder"

if the processes contains "process "Eudora"" then

display dialog "Eudora running. Sending queue."

tell application "Eudora"

connect with sending

end tell

end if

end tell

I assume my problem has to do with the processes being returned as a list, and I'm not determing if it contains "process "Eudora"" correctly. What is the correct syntax for this If statement?

Thanks in advance.

tell application "Finder"

if exists process "Eudora" then

tell application "Eudora"

connect with sending

end tell

end if

end tell

Thanks Fenton! That's perfect!
