I'm still getting the same error as above. I tried to look at the code and see if I could fix it myself (it is open source after all), but my objective C is too weak. I do notice that the changes you made over the last couple of days escape the body of the email message. To my untrained eyes it seems that the problem is with the file name. For example, my autofile format yields the following filename. Sax D & Gaines S 2003 Trends In Ecology \& Evolution.pdf This give the above error in the console and mail doesn't open. If I go and manually change the name of the linked file to Sax D & Gaines S 2003 Trends In Ecology Evolution.pdf Send via Email works perfectly. I tried to look at how the array of files is constructed, but it was beyond me. Sorry to take up your time with this minor issue. I do appreciate your efforts to help.
