Creating signature in Mail.app


  • Subject: Creating signature in Mail.app
  • From: Norman Cohen <email@hidden>
  • Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 14:23:25 -0800

I've recently written an applescript that looks up a quote of the day from a website and creates a new random signature quote for my default signature in Mail.app on Panther. To get the quote, I wrote a short perl script that uses the site's RSS feed and then extracts a random quote. My script works fine in that it creates a new signature using the quote; however, unless I open and close the preferences for mail.app, the most recently chosen signature is not saved between launches of mail.app. In other words, the default random quote signature reverts to the one saved the last time preferences was opened and closed. What ways are available other than gui scripting to update Mail.app's preferences?

Thanks,

Norm
