Niel (or anyone else willing to help me!),
I wonder if you could help me again. I'm doing a similar thing as above, but this time, I need to:
1. select a random photo (or file) from a folder
2. put it into an *already open* email at the bottom as an attachment
-----
I found the following script online, and it works great. However, it creates a NEW email message and fills in fields. For my use, I need to remove most of the lines so that it doesn't create a new email but instead just uses the email window that is already open. I don't need it to fill in any of the fields. I need it only to attach the photo at the end.
I've tried taking out most of the lines, but I can't get it to work. Can you please help?
Thanks very much! 🙂
David
