Edit Mail contents

Hi All,

is it possible to delete lines from the content of a new outgoing message. It may seem like a strange question but I’m joining a variable and a signature when creating the message but inserting the signature seems to add a few blank lines so I just wandered if I could edit the content and delete them?

Here’s my script:

	tell application "Mail"
		activate
		set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"The subject", content:"Hello " & recipientName, visible:true, sender:theSender}
		set message signature of theMessage to signature theSignature
		tell theMessage
			make new to recipient with properties {name:recipientName, address:emailAddress}
			--send
		end tell
	end tell

I’ve tried this:

		tell content of theMessage to delete paragraph 3

but it does nothing.

Thanks,
Nik

Nope, the content is a simple text property

Thanks Stefan,
