* issue (1) [appscript syntax for Mail.app]:
I can list the attachments with appscript, but I didn't find a way
to save them or to access them as files.
Something like this should work (assuming the files don't already
exist in the destination folder):
message = app('Mail').selection()[0]
for attachment in message.mail_attachments():
attachment.save(in_=mactypes.File(u'/path/to/outfolder/' +
attachment.name()))
Thank you, that works.
Now I can drop my MIME attachment decoding.
Now I've finally the readable text of the message in proper unicode.
Let's make a reply mail:
reply = message.reply(opening_window=True)
I don't understand why usually a message window is invisible, but
anyway, that works so far.
reply.content.set(decrypted_text)
Doesn't work: If I try it in PyCrust, the new text appears above
the initial content, can't delete that.
In my script I get only a CommandError:
CommandError -10000: Apple event handler failed.
Failed command: app(u'/Applications/
Mail.app').outgoing_messages.ID(409455472).content.set(u'bla')
Despite that error, when I close Mail.app, a new message containing
my text appears, i.e. instead of setting the content of my
previously created reply mail, it makes a new outgoing message in
the background.
* issue (4) [appscript syntax for Mail.app]:
How can I set the complete content of a reply message?
Dunno offhand; might have time to look into it tomorrow unless
anyone else has any ideas. As you say, Mail's scripting interface is
less than stellar. BTW, you could also try asking on Apple's
AppleScript-users mailing list; I expect there's a few folk there
who've had dealings with Mail as well and might be able to shed some
light on the problem.
I found a blog entry that collects some of Mail.app's bugs, including
this:
http://willwont.blogspot.com/2008/04/applescripting-mailapp.html
I also found a thread on an Apple list, where several guys tried to
get replies working (and didn't) - strangely at one of them's machine
it worked (but even there only after each other restart of Mail.app):
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2007/Jan/threads.html#00085
Remember I got it partly working from PyCrust, but not from my own
script - there's a trick involved anywhere...
Here's another attempt:
reply = message.reply(opening_window=True)
reply.close(saving=k.no) # close useless reply
for m in mailapp.outgoing_messages():
m.visible.set(True) # make hidden messages visible
I tried "everything", but didn't manage to set any outgoing_message's
content or add a recipient.
I thought the following should work:
reply.to_recipients.end.make(
new=k.recipient,
with_properties={
'address': message.sender.extract_address_from(),
'name': message.sender.extract_name_from()
})
reply.content.set(decrypted)
Now I just copy my content to the clipboard
( osax.ScriptingAddition.set_clipboard_to() ), so I can paste it as
reply.
Greetlings from Lake Constance!
