Mail signature script broken after X.3.4

Mail signature script broken after X.3.4


  • Subject: Mail signature script broken after X.3.4
  • From: Michael Grant <email@hidden>

This one-line script:

tell application "Mail" to set the message signature of outgoing message 1 to signature "*email@hidden"

used to set the signature of the frontmost unsent new message to my basic business signature. (I use random signatures for non-business mail, so I need the script to set the signature for business-related messages rather than having to scroll all through my long list of sigs.) Since installing this week's OS X 10.3.4 update the script no longer works. The odd thing is that, if I run it and then run:

tell application "Mail" to get content of message signature of outgoing message 1

I get the expected signature content in the script result pane--but it doesn't change in the actual message. I've tried mailing a message to myself to see if it's just a matter of the window updating, but apparently it's not. If I run:

tell application "Mail" to get name of first to recipient of outgoing message 1

I get the expected result, so it does seem to be targeting the correct message.

What's up with that, and how do I get my signature set properly now?

Thanks,
Michael
