Modify an Existing Workflow

In the example below, I modified the Apple-provided workflow that copies unread email and transfers it to an iPod as notes. I modified it to open my unread mail in TextEdit and have it read out loud to me by Fred. That way I can get the ironing done while listening to my email. (Ha!) It takes some trial and error at first to figure out what needs to be input and output, but if it's something you can use again and again, it's worth the time.

I wish I could make Fred do the ironing.
