No. Applescript is not supported on the iPhone.

Not Applescript, but you can embed Javascript inside an app which can be run inside a UIWebView.

Last time I did JavaScript, it was

Code:

location.href = "mailto:user@aol.com?subject=test&message=test";

The mailto: URL on the iPhone opens the a new message form, it doesn't send an email. If you need to send an email without user interaction, you'll have to use a server somewhere to do that.

Rather than use JavaScript, you can use -[UIApplication openURL:] to open a new mail in MobileMail.app. Keep in mind that is will terminate your own application.

Code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""mailto:user@aol.com?subject=test&message=test"]];
