Quicksilver & Entourage

Hi,

I am an independent project manager and use my Macbook Pro for business so I use Entourage for the work email and Apple mail for my personal email.

Using Quicksilver I can find the contact but the compose email open automatically opens apple mail rather than Entourage. Does anyone know of any way that I can get it to create an Entourage email? Is it possible to choose the application for the email based on the contact?

Any help that anyone could give me would be much appreciated.

Maybe a trigger + proxies?

We should shine up the "Emory Signal" -- I'm pretty sure he's an Entourage man and I imagine he's a Quicksilver dude too.

I don't recall much about how the Entourage plug-in works, but I don't think it exposes too much functionality for email (correct me if I'm wrong, friends).

One janky, rigged option is to get a little advanced and do a trigger that access the Entourage menu. Might be too much work for what you get tho.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
