Apple

will not work when using a reply to a message? I just get a line of text with the attachment instead of the attachment itself. Seems like the rules are different when replying to an email.

Thanks,

emily

Paul,

A message's content is read only. Take a look at the Text Suite for Mail to see the classes and elements available in it. It takes a lot of poking around in dictionaries to get a sense of the the inherited capabilities of different properties and elements. Lots.

Nice. Once again AS lives up to its promise of being user friendly!

Any idea why set content of theNewMessage to "###enter message content here###" doesn't work? And what's more, how could one possibly glean the correct solution from the dictionary?

I use the following with reliable results:
tell newMessage
make new rich text at before the first paragraph of content with data "message content or whatever"
end tell

Good luck!

Hi there-

I'm trying to automate a simple reply all to a selected email from the inbox, but for some reason, I can't add content to the reply email.
The console seems to say that the content is being "set", but nothing appears in the generated email (just the old reply to content). Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

tell application "Mail"
set theSelection to selection
set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection

try
set theNewMessage to reply theMessage with opening window and reply to all
tell theNewMessage
set content of theNewMessage to "###enter message content here###"
end tell

end try
end tell
