I decided to use this tutorial and write the plugin in python:
http://eaganj.free.fr/weblog/?post/2009/07/14/Demystifying-Mail.app-Plugins-on-Leopard
But I have found that it's not picking up the hook inside MailDocumentEditor's
send method. My guess is this has something to do with using 10.6 instead of
10.5 like the tutorial was written for, although when I do a class-dump the
class and method are clearly there.
I'm not sure what else I can do, but perhaps some of the folks who worked on
GrowlMail might have some insight for getting this to work with 10.6.
In case anyone's curious, here is the source:
from AppKit import *
from Foundation import *
import objc
MailDocumentEditor = objc.lookUpClass("MailDocumentEditor")
class MyMessageEditor(MailDocumentEditor):
__slots__ = ()
def send_(self, sender):
NSLog('Trying to send something with MyPlugin!')
super(MyMessageEditor, self).send_(sender)
MVMailBundle = objc.lookUpClass('MVMailBundle')
class MyPlugin(MVMailBundle):
def initialize (cls):
MVMailBundle.registerBundle()
MyMessageEditor.poseAsClass_(MailDocumentEditor)
NSLog("MyPlugin registered with Mail")
initialize = classmethod(initialize)
All that it should do is write the console when I send a message and it's not
currently doing that. It might not be possible on 10.6...
