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.
Thanks,
Nick

I have a question about MailMate and AppleScript.
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.
