I’ve noticed some odd behavior with Apple Mail since I upgraded to Big Sur,
too. There has been some work on it and I don’t think it’s for the better.

Thanks for the discussion link. More confirmation it is a bug in Catalina
macOS Mail.
Unfortunately, their work around for forwarding isn’t a fix. One would have
hoped
that Apple would have fixed it in the last 8 months, but they haven’t. :-(
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the script. I’m not an AppleScript Expert either.
I’ve dabbled with it from time to time and usually end up
hating the experience.
Sometimes using the “Record” feature of AppleScript
can give one a good idea of what to do.
I would probably eliminate a repeat or two. I don’
I know this is moving away from LC, but you can use a simple AppleScript to to
do this, then trigger the AppleScript from Mail rules, or run as a standalone
app, or you could trigger the AppleScript from LC if that’s what you need.

Hi again,
I had one more idea as a work around.
My account is a gmail account. Is there
anyway I could use one of their filters at
that level to do the auto-respond but
somehow change the subject line back
to what it should be?
Any gmail experts here that might know
the answer?
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
i mixed the version numbers. I tested with 15.3 which is Catalina. There it
shows also the behaviour.
In Mojave the subjects is not changed and keeps the original value.
Please excuse the confusion.

Hi Matthias,
That confirms this is bug with macOS Mojave and most
probably wasn’t fixed in Catalina either!
Now the question becomes one of does the
bug still exist in macOS Big Sur?
In addition, can anyone come up with a
workaround that produces the correct result?
Thanks!

Okay, understood. ;)
I've tried here in a VM with macOS 14.3 now.
I created a rule that forwards an email if the subject is DAVID.
I can replicate it so far, but in my case the subject changed from DAVID to
Fwd: baa1
I checked also the raw email. There's the same for the subject.

Hi Matthias,
The problem is not with the script
because I can reproduce the problem
without using it at all.
Just test the Rules part of Mac Mail in Catalina,
to see if an auto reply generates Hexadecimal
numbers in the Subject line.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Richmond,
I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear enough about what I was asking.
My script is fine!
I can reproduce the problem just by sending a normal
email in the usual physical way that we send emails
everyday. (No script required.)
I am using the Apple Mac Mail Rules option to filter.
Can you pl
How do you compose the email?
Are you using the Mime library for it?
Are you using shell() function to send the email after composing or the tsNET
external?
