All I want to do is send an email from Mail.app, with an attachment.
The attachment name will change, but not by much. It will always start with the words "Detail Summary Report."
This is what I have so far:
property theSubject : "PQMS Report for the Week" property theBody : "Here is the PQMS Data for the week." property recipientName : "Geoff Lilley" property weeklyReport : "Detail Summary.xls" tell application "Mail" set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody} tell newMessage -- Default is false. Determines whether the compose window will -- show on the screen or whether it will happen in the background. set visible to true make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress} end tell activate end tell
If it's not asking for the absolute impossible, I want to be able to get the recipient's a name and address from a prompt. --
