Outlook 2011 Resend Workaround - Authors comment
Authored by: Barryw on Jan 10, '11 12:05:06AM

Hi,
As the author of the script, i can confirm that it was written for Microsoft Outlook, and the version on my web page was saved with a 'tell application "Microsoft Outlook"' command.
If people are seeing a reference to Microsoft Entourage, this is because Oultook and Entourage share the same application reference, and it is by reference that compiled scripts identify applications. They have almost certainly opened the script on a system that has Entourage installed (it was NOT installed on the system I wrote the script on!), and the script has been decompiled for display. Since the application reference in the script could point to eier Entoruage or Outlook I believe that by default, the system will select the first installed matching application - almost certainly Entourage.
If you do suffer from this problem, simply change the word Entourage to Outlook, and all should be well.
Barryw

Great script. It was one of the first things I missed in Outlook when I got it, naturally when I saw the call for Microsoft Office for Mac it was the first thing I thought of. Thanks again for publishing it.

I installed the script a few months ago and it worked great. Recently, when I run the script from the script menu, I get the error message "This script acts only on already sent messages. Please select a sent message and run the script again." I am selecting messages from the sent folder. When I run the script from the script editor, it works perfectly. I recently installed Adblock Plus and reverted to older versions of Firefox and Google Toolbar.
