I just found this discussion thread:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/Applescript-users/2004/May/ msg00849.html

I am experiencing the very same problem on 10.4.7, and my mail.app is virgin, as far as I know

Have any workarounds been published, or is this simply a bug?

Seems un-pious that virgins should have bugs.

tell application "Mail"
	set sig to content of signature "Hidden"
end tell

Thanks for your quick answer. Sorry, I should have been more precise, because the problem I am experiencing is only described in a later post.


My issue is creating or changing signatures. Either of the two scripts below will create a werid behavior:

First:

tell application "Mail"
set sigContent to content of signature "_EXISTING_SIGNAME_GOES_HERE_"
make new signature with properties {name:"My new sig", content:sigContent}
end tell


Second:

tell application "Mail"
make new signature with properties {name:"My new sig", content:"My Content"}
end tell


Now, when you go to mail, you can see the new signature listed in the Signatures section of the preferences. But going to the Signature pane alone will

1) Prevent you from closing the preference window, chosing a different preferences section (e.g. "Accounts"), or even quit the mail app

2) Not allow you to select, view, let alone edit the signature

Luckily in this case, after you force quit mail and restart, the signatures are gone.

I will file this as a bug as soon as I have finished sending this, but any idea what is the issue here?

Alex
