I like it how safari prepares email contents with cmd-i. I would like to know how to do this programatically in cocoa. Is this possible? I want to send local html files with all linked images as html email.
Safari uses an undocumented Apple event API (mail/mlpg) in Mail. I guess you could sniff some event traffic using AEDebug and try to reverse engineer the data format used, then construct your own copycat events. Given that it's a private API though you've no guarantee that the format won't change in future releases.
Creating a plain text message with attachments via the public Apple event ('AppleScript') API is pretty straightforward - e.g. there's an example Xcode project in the objc-appscript repository that does this. You can even apply rudimentary styles, one run at a time, if you're patient enough. (Unfortunately, there's no standard for passing styled text/RTF/HTML/etc. directly between processes; a longstanding deficiency.)
I'm not sure if you can create an HTML email or not via Mail's public scripting interface - best thing would be to ask on the AppleScript users mailing list as that's where you'll find most experienced Mail scripters.
