I finally got this to work. Note, your mail preferences must be set to compose new emails in rich text format. I had mine set to plain text, so it wasn't working. Also note, you have to double-click the stationary once to unzip it, then once to install it. Plus, putting the script in the User's Library/Scripts folder did not put it in the menu bar for me (in Mail or Safari). I have no idea how to make it appear and where it will be if it does show up. So I've been running it with the run button in the script editor app. I never use scripts in Mail. Another thing that's also not made clear (the hint implies that calling the script will grab the vid from the currently displayed page in Safari but not true the way I ran it) is that you must paste the URL of the youtube page you want the video from in a dialog box that comes up (which is not very descriptive - I just did it on a guess). Now I just have to figure out how to get two vids in one email. Hopefully I'll be able to figure that out without too much trouble...

OK. Also note that not all youtube URLs work. You may need to find the video's code in the URL, e.g. Vi9xgE7ZCeg, and prepend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= so that you have something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi9xgE7ZCeg

I grabbed this one from this youtube URL:

Well, it looks like this isn't very customizable. I wanted to embed the vid in a regular email, but it looks like you're forced to enter text in only one small spot... I'm in a hurry, so I guess I'll abandon this effort and just send links instead of vids.
