No, but there is no mention of JavaScript, the only "alternateLanguages"
is AppleScript in the moment.

Type this into your message box and hit ENTER:

answer the alternateLanguages

You will only see "applescript"

So they were not wrong, may just a bit less precise as one could  
wish ;-)

Yes, it looks a bit "amateurish" when you only want a simple address
and the whole application starts up, when you use an Applescript.

But that's the way it is in the moment.

Maybe there are some "shell" commands that one could use?
Or, extract the address(es) from some file? Where and how?
Any insights from other listees?
