adjusting volume?
This is a great script! My only complaint is that the spoken words seem much louder than they should be -- specifically in relation to iTunes, which I already have turned up to about 85% of max. Is there a way to modify the script so that the volume is toned down a bit? I poked around in System Preferences under both Sound and Speech and couldn't seem to find any way to adjust only the Speech items.
adjusting volume?
Unfortunately, I don't think you can. Say doesn't take a volume argument.

You could do:
adjusting volume? -- Yes you can!
You can adjust the volume by changing this line: tell application "Finder" to say "Mail from " & thisSender
to tell application "Finder" to say "[[volm 0.7]] Mail from" & thisSender
Toy with the value 0.7 (0=silence, 1.0=max) until you find a volume you find reasonable. Instead, you could use + or - before the number to raise or lower the volume. Apple has a list of embedded speech commands on their site. For example, if you want your mac to speak rapidly you could: tell application "Finder" to say "[[rate 300]] Mail from" & thisSender
