Hey Cameron,

I'm trying to setup a script that forwards a message.

... however, when I do the forward command, the resulting message has not 2, not 3, but 8 copies of the message in it. If on the other had, I click the Forward button, it creates a single message, but the Applescript command creates 8.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Yes.

Which Mac OS are you using?

This is a long-standing bug which if memory serves I last encountered in Snow Leopard.

It's possible to get around it by changing one of the preference settings - perhaps 'quote original message' - but I don't remember offhand.  (I spent quit a bit of time Googling for the fix, but I don't seem to have that info handy at the moment.)

It's bad enough that I can't change the content of the message after it's forwarded, but this kind of bug is unworkable.

Yes.

Please file bugs against Mail for this bad behavior - Apple has chosen not to fix these glaring deficiencies for years now.

Best Regards,
Chris
