I am writing a system service which and it was my intention to use it
in particular together with Mail.app.
The service should take the selected text, make some transformations
and paste it back, overwriting the selection. I used the
SimpleService-Example of the AppKit-Samples as a template. I used
TextEdit.app as the host application for testing and everything
seemed to work out of the box.
However, the behaviour in Mail.app (Version 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3)) in
its message body pane is somewhat strange. The service seems to
receive the text well, but for most of the time it does not paste
back anything, and sometimes it pastes back all the time the selected
input string of the first invocation.
I can reproduce this behaviour with the "Capitalize String"-Service
of the SimpleService-Sample in Mail.app while it works as supposed in
TextEdit.app and also in the Header-TextFields of Mail.app.
However, SimpleService seems to be a quite old example, and perhaps
its concepts do no more apply in total to the latest incarnations of
the Mac OS X 10.4.6 apps.
So, does somebody have any ideas, how to make the "Capitalize String"-
Service of the SimpleService-Sample work together with Mail.app.
I spent some days in devoloping my service and I was really looking
forward to use it together with Mail.app. I am sure that if by any
means SimpleService works, my custom service will work too.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
