I'm writing a script to generate a message in Mail.app, based on Apple's Create New Message.scpt. According to the Event Log everything is working fine. I get an entry:

"make new to recipient at end of every to recipient of outgoing message id 48555296 with properties {name:"Jane Doe", address:" email@hidden"}"

The problem is that the recipient(s) never get into the message. The "To:" line is empty!

Frustrating isn't it! Try this:

tell application "Mail"
set _message to make outgoing message with properties {visible:true}
tell _message
set r1 to {name:"me", address:"me@home"}
make to recipient at end with properties r1
end
end

I do hope they've replaced the team that is responsible for this mess.

I tried your code directly and I tried incorporating it into my script. In both cases I got the same result: no recipients in the message. I know the example script from Apple used to work because I tried it when I got version 1.0 of Mail. Subsequent "improvements" must have disabled the ability to insert to recipients, at least in any logical approach I can think of.

I have someone waiting for this script and I hate to tell him "Apple screwed up scripting in Mail. There's simply no way to do what you want to do." What ever happened to quality control?
