Hi again

email was set to Mail -  and I also tried it with Thunderbird and  
tried switching Firefox for Safari - no luck.
I tried the command on my old computer ( OS10.1 , Mail 1.1, Rev 2.0)  
and it worked fine.

Maybe more detailed information would help

on the command
revMail "use-revolution at lists.runrev.com", , "TRYING" , "SUCCESS"

Safari opens with
http://mailto:use-revolution@lists.runrev.com/? 
Subject=TRYING&Body=SUCCESS
in the address box
and proceeds to open the home page of runrev.com

Is there a clue in there for someone with more experience in  
AppleScript than I?

Paul
