Escape quotes
Authored by: bluehz on Oct 11, '02 12:03:31PM

I was unable to get this to work until I modified the Applescript to properly escape the quotes.The line I use is:

[code]do shell script ("echo " & "\\"" & mybody & "\"" & " | mail -s " & "\"" & mysubject & "\" " & myrecipient)
[/code]

actually - I don't know how - but the one above is almost properly formatted - remove the first forward slash and it is correct.
