I like it how safari prepares email contents with cmd-i. I would like
to know how to do this programatically in cocoa. Is this possible?
I want to send local html files with all linked images as html email.
Safari uses an undocumented Apple event API (mail/mlpg) in Mail. I
guess you could sniff some event traffic using AEDebug and try to
reverse engineer the data format used, then construct your own copycat
events. Given that it's a private API though you've no guarantee that
the format won't change in future releases.
Creating a plain text message with attachments via the public Apple
event ('AppleScript') API is pretty straightforward - e.g. there's an
example Xcode project in the objc-appscript repository that does this.
You can even apply rudimentary styles, one run at a time, if you're
patient enough. (Unfortunately, there's no standard for passing styled
text/RTF/HTML/etc. directly between processes; a longstanding
deficiency.)
I'm not sure if you can create an HTML email or not via Mail's public
scripting interface - best thing would be to ask on the AppleScript
users mailing list as that's where you'll find most experienced Mail
scripters.
