Share YouTube and Dailymotion with Mail.app templates
Authored by: robleach on Jul 30, '09 11:02:07AM

I finally got this to work. Note, your mail preferences must be set to compose new emails in rich text format. I had mine set to plain text, so it wasn't working. Also note, you have to double-click the stationary once to unzip it, then once to install it. Plus, putting the script in the User's Library/Scripts folder did not put it in the menu bar for me (in Mail or Safari). I have no idea how to make it appear and where it will be if it does show up. So I've been running it with the run button in the script editor app. I never use scripts in Mail. Another thing that's also not made clear (the hint implies that calling the script will grab the vid from the currently displayed page in Safari but not true the way I ran it) is that you must paste the URL of the youtube page you want the video from in a dialog box that comes up (which is not very descriptive - I just did it on a guess). Now I just have to figure out how to get two vids in one email. Hopefully I'll be able to figure that out without too much trouble...
