Re: Mail signature script broken after X.3.4

I have found the same problem as you. When I run the script and choose different signatures, the signature pop-up menu does change size to reflect the number of characters in the name of the selected signature; however, the signature chosen is ALWAYS the last signature in my list of signatures. Very weird.

However, I remembered that I do have a couple of mail bundles installed: PGP, Mailenhancer, JunkMatcher and SpamCop. After a little troubleshooting, I've identified the problem for me, and I suspect for you as well. I would wager to bet that you have mailenhancer installed. Go under mail preferences and turn off the option to select signature based on account under the Mailenhancer pane. Close the preference window and you should be able to get your script to work.

HTH,

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
