Need a script "Send after receive" [SaferSurf.com Status: eMail virus free]
Hello all, I have a small little problem with one of my eMail-servers, which still requires the "send after receive" method of secure identification, and it doesn't look as if that will be changed soon. All my other servers do not need that anymore. I like to bundle the receive task, while sending eMails immediately after I created them. Now I can do that manually, but would like to find an elegant way to let the program do it for me. I know, it can send eMails, that were created in Filemaker very good (not through this server, though). Unfortunately I am not good in writing scripts, so I need your help. I need a script, that makes Powermail (still using 4.2.1) automatically receive and send messages, and if possible, but not necessary, only for one account! I would be very happy, if there was one. I use MacOS 9.1 with a Apus 3000 clone and a Sonnet G3 card. Happy and peaceful season to all of you Florian Fürst

Add this inside the repeat loop. set OldSubject to subject of msg set NewSubject to "NewSubject: " & OldSubject as string (* This combines the old and new subject lines.

You can do this with an AppleScript:
tell application "PowerMail"
set theMessages to current messages
repeat with msg in theMessages
set theReply to reply to msg without replying to all
delete recipient 1 of theReply
set senderAddr to sender of msg
make new recipient with properties {address:senderAddr} at theReply
set content of theReply to "autoreply text"
send theReply
end repeat
end tell

Yea, right, that's such a good idea that even this list doesn't do it. Sorry but in the Real World most computer users need a list to work without having to jump through hoops. I guess I'm going to have to implement this on the server... -- David Gordon

We had a power cut today forcing me to restart the computer again when power was restored. The above problem recurred. From the menu, File -> Database -> Compact Database, Update Search Index or Compact Search Index all told me "An STL exception occcurred". An attempt to Quit PM gave me "An error occurred while closing user's files". Uncaught exception type. Force Quit PM. Reopened with First Aid and clicked the Rebuild Search index button. Still got the empty Folder List Force Quit PM again. The dialog with a "Do it now" button finally appeared. Clicking this allowed PM to open normally. Seems like the only way to get PM to open normally is to wait until the Rebuild Search Index with a Do It Now button appears. It has been suggested (Hiro) that I have a corrupted email message somewhere. Is there a convenient way confirm this or find it - I must have over a thousand messages saved in my database? -- Frank Mitchell, Scottsdale, Arizona PM 5.0.2 on a PPC dual G4 (mirror door) 867 MHz, Mac OS 10.2.8, 768 MB, 60 GB
