Write Ransom Notes With AppleScript

The Crazy Message Text script comes with OS X so you can make some festive looking emails for birthdays or holidays. But the finished product conjures up images of letters cut from a magazine and taped to a piece of paper. Like a ransom note from a James Patterson novel.

The script is fairly self-explanatory but Murphy’s throwing in a screencast anyway, in case you’re away from your Mac. It’s quick, take a look.

You’ve got other scripts in your /Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts folder - give them a peek - maybe there’s something you could use.

Note: The script generates a multi-color message, not something like the image in this post. Click the image above to generate your own classic-style ransom note.
