Since I probably won't do something better any time soon I've added a
`perform` command to the AppleScript API. You should now be able to do
something like this:
tell application MailMate to perform { toggleFlag: }
Or in your case, you might need something like this:
tell application MailMate to perform { performBundleItemWithUUID:,
UUID from bundle command }
You can do anything you can do with [custom key
bindings](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings).
It's available in the current [64 bit beta
(r5013)](http://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/MailMate_64bit.tbz).
Have a nice weekend.

Re: [MlMt] Reply to selected message with AppleScript
Hi Benny, Thank you for your reply and the example bundle. The replyMessage action seems to do what I would like, except that the message isn't displayed in a new window but is instead automatically saved in Drafts. Can I call bundle commands from another application than MailMate? I tried to call your bash script from the Terminal, with MailMate open in the background, but nothing happened.

I would like AppleScript to create a Reply email to the selected message and automatically add some text to it. I understand you can do this with the open location command and setting all the necessary parameters like subject, body and in-reply-to. Well, that's primarily for new messages and not replies. The [`emate`](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/emate) command can also be used for this when it's more convenient. My question is: can I get the value for those parameters for the selected message with AppleScript? Or is there perhaps a better/easier way to create a Reply email with AppleScript? I have been thinking about using the COM+R shortcut through System Events, but that seems like bit of a hassle. The best way to do this is to use a bundle command. This is still badly documented (and incomplete), but it might work well enough for you. To help you out I've created a bundle which you should place in this folder (create it): ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/ I've added a single command named “Generate Reply”. It calls a bash script, but it could be any kind of script (Ruby, Python, AppleScript, …). It just has to return a property list specifying a `replyMessage` action (as also shown by my example). You can find the command in the “Command ▸ Arcict” menu after saving the bundle. The only documentation is [this mailing list message](http://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate%40lists.freron.com/msg02477.html). Depending on what exactly you are trying to do, you might need more help, but this is a starting point. -- Benny [Arcict.mmBundle.zip] ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Yes, I should probably add an option to open a composer window. Can I call bundle commands from another application than MailMate? No, except for GUI scripting I guess. I tried to call your bash script from the Terminal, That won't work. with MailMate open in the background, but nothing happened. You want to create a reply to a message selected in MailMate, but trigger it from the Terminal? Or are you trying to do something not involving selected messages? -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
