Sending multiple Yahoo! messages


  • Subject: Sending multiple Yahoo! messages

The Mac version of Yahoo! Messenger won't allow you to send to multiple recipients, but obviously, you can send the same message several times to various people. I want Applescript to automate this, but can't get it to send a second message in the same script.

Here's a stripped down version of a script:

tell application "Yahoo! Messenger"
SendMessage "Hello" to "friend1" from "mol_jim"
SendMessage "Hello" to "friend2" from "mol_jim"
end tell

This sends the first message fine, but returns the following error instead of sending the second message:
"Yahoo! Messenger got an error: \"Hello\" doesn't understand the SendMessage message."

I have tried using different messages, tried saving the message as a variable or two different variables. I have tried putting each command into a separate tell block. I have tried putting commands to other applications in between. I always get the same message when it tries to send the second message.

Any ideas on how I can get Messenger to view the two SendMessage commands as separate requests?

Thanks,
Jim Moss
