can't make {to recipient} from {get recipient of theMessage}

can't make {to recipient} from {get recipient of theMessage}


  • Subject: can't make {to recipient} from {get recipient of theMessage}
  • From: James Udo Ludtke <email@hidden>

I am trying to get an AppleScript to work in Mail.app.

1. From a message in my in-box, in which I am the cc recipient, I copy the {to recipient}.
2. Next, I create a new email using <make new outgoing message with properties {…..}>
3. Finally, I add the recipient to the new message with< make {to recipient} with properties {address:..…}>


If I copy the sender in step 1, my script works OK.
If I set the addrVar variable using <copy "email@hidden" to addrVar>, my script works OK.
But when I set addrVar to the {to recipient} in step 1, I get an error "Mail got an error: Can’t make {to recipient} into type class." when trying to set the recipient in the new message using <make {to recipient} with properties {address:addrVar>


Here is the code:

tell application "Mail"

activate
set theSelection to selection
set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection

-- can't get this to work
copy {get recipients of theMessage} to allRecipients
copy item 1 of allRecipients to addrVar
-- copy allRecipients to addrVar -- alt version of previous line, also does not work

-- using the sender of message 1 to set the new to address works
-- copy {get sender of theMessage} to allRecipients
-- copy item 1 of allRecipients to addrVar

-- using a literal string to set the new to address works
-- copy "email@hidden" to addrVar

set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"My Subject", content:"Blah, blah,blah", visible:true}

tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at beginning of to recipients with properties {address:addrVar}
end tell


end tell

I suspect the format of {get recipients of theMessage} is different from what <make new to recipient> expects, but I can't figure out what to do about it.
