I’ve a script which has been working very well for a long time which now fails under Sierra. The code is

tell application "Mail"
activate
set msg to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, sender:"Jeremy Roussak <email@hidden>", subject:(caseName & ", " & caseNumber), content:timeText}
set msg's message signature to signature "kings"
end tell

The offending line is the message signature line. There is definitely a signature “kings”, but Mail doesn’t want to provide access to it.

tell application "Mail"
get signatures
end tell

returns

{signature "default" of application "Mail", signature "kings" of application "Mail”}

but 

tell application "Mail"
set sigs to get signatures
properties of second item of sigs
end tell

gives

error "Mail got an error: Can’t get signature \"kings\"." number -1728 from signature “kings"


Any ideas gratefully received!

Despite lots of webpages that show the Applescript command to set a signature for an outgoing message, I don’t think it works. I just spent a good hour trying to make it work in Sierra and it never works.

So, based on your email and the many other webpages that exist, this must be a bug in AppleScript in Sierra. Your experience and all those other web pages can't all have been wrong.
