Re: Mail Signature Automation

With the bugs inherent in mail's scripting functions, the only way to script it that I can see is to run a script that creates a new message with the desired signature, and then type the reply in that message.

This script should do it:

tell application "Mail"

set incoming to item 1 of (get the selection)

set _sender to the sender of incoming

set sender_name to (extract name from _sender)

set sender_addr to (extract address from _sender)

set _subject to the subject of incoming

if text 1 through 3 of _subject is not "re:" then set _subject to "Re: " & _subject

set _content to sender_name & " wrote:" & return & return & the content of incoming

set outgoing to (make new outgoing message with properties ¬

{subject:_subject, content:return & return & return & _content, visible:true})

set outgoing's message signature to signature "Truths"

-- Replace "truths" with the name of the signature your client will use

tell outgoing to make new to recipient with properties {name:sender_name, address:sender_addr}

end tell

myself. Any comments?

Hi Bruce,

Mail.app is used by all 20 staff at one of my business clients. My

client is looking for a way to have one signature automatically

attached when sending NEW email messages while having a second

shorter signature automatically attached if they are replying to a

message.
