Message.framework and user preferences


  • Subject: Message.framework and user preferences

I have created an application that uses Message.framework/NSMailDelivery.h to send email and it works for me, but somewhat mysteriously.

Now I'm trying to figure out the rhyme and reason as to how the framework works. After reading the defaults for my compiled application I see all of the entries for accounts that I have in Mail.app. I thought it was just supposed to read the preferences set in System Preferences -> Internet -> Email, but obviously it is reading much more than that to attain an email address from which to send. I have one email address set in my Internet prefs, but it is not the one to which the Message.framework defaults.

The NSMailDelivery.h header doesn't relay where it gets the info from or which preferences or account settings have priority, it only seems to verify that the information exists. I do not know if the framework can get the account information from Eudora or Entourage, but I doubt it.

Before I go shifting my preferences around and disabling accounts to do some testing, does anybody have any good insight into this framework? Is there a way to allow the user to specify which account they want to use perhaps after the application reads from the plist?

Cheers,

Jeff
