Hello all,
I'm wondering if there is a way to force Mail to refresh its list of
signatures--including both names and content--without quitting and
restarting the application. You see, my solution to the age-old
dilemma of creating a dynamic signature is this: set up a cron job to
get some current info (recent items, what's playing in iTunes, output
from fortune, etc.), process that info, and spit it out (with proper
XML formatting) into the Signatures.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail
folder. This works really well, except for the fact that Mail doesn't
recognize the updated plist file until I restart the application. I
was hoping that there was an AS (equivalently, shell script) way of
doing this so I could just include that command in the script that
updates the Signatures.plist file. (Footnote: other than this snag, I
like this solution better than running a script to create a new mail
message with some dynamic text as the signature because of
replying/forwarding issues, among other things.)
Ideas?
Thanks in advance-
Eric
