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

the Text is a property of button "search all". You have to use "set the

Why did that not occur to me? Damn, on one of my variants I was so close,

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
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

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.

Matt
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!

As of today, **with only 4 people responding**, the leading option for our
weekly meeting is 3 pm - 6 PM EST on Wednesdays, that is this afternoon! I’ll
make a meeting in Zoom (details below) and send a meeting notice.
If you have conflicts, the best way to share this with the team is to add you
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,
Ok, so Mojave is good and macOS Mail in Catalina is the problem.

for this problem, or if I need to be looking at some other email

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
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.

Thanks for the script. I’m not an AppleScript Expert either.
I’ve dabbled with it from time to time and usually end up

Sometimes using the “Record” feature of AppleScript

I would probably eliminate a repeat or two. I don’

Hi Curry... This was helpful on a day where LC threw a curveball at me.
Hard coded AWS endpoints.
I agree with a lot of the sentiments. Overall there is a lot to love
and most bugs have workaroundsbut some things are dragging on.
Have a great day

If you are asking about the S3 library ...

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize that one was proprietary.
Hopefully they'll read Comment #3 there. I would imagine adding optional
args for new endpoints would be simple to do, and open the package up to
MANY more use cases.

Hi Todd
Given I’m the expert that needs to review this (I wrote the library) I thought

The library was implemented for a business customer that required AWS S3. There

feasible to make the library work for no
Hi Richard,
Yes exactly.
I just need my application to have object storage, but I don't do business
with AWS. Amazon gets enough of my money.
The reason I planned to use this library and this method is for simplicity,
more options for hosts, and for trying different things. Like MINIO.

Yes you are right, I will take those steps to elevate it.

I appreciate that its there to even be adjusted in the first place,

I'm not annoyed anymore, but hopeful that this can happen in a
Thanks for that background, Tom.
If it *must* be s3 then either working with LC Ltd or crafting an open
competing lib would be necessary. Open source competing libs are
problematic on both sides, since the dev needs to replicate the effort

Thanks for the discussion link. More confirmation it is a bug in Catalina

Unfortunately, their work around for forwarding isn’t a fix. One would have

that Apple would have fixed it in the last 8 months, but they haven’t. :-(
Thanks,

Paul, thanks for your thoughts, you are right there are some traps with the
s3 compatible part, and some unknown that we may not know about.
Richard, thanks for letting me know about those libraries, its definitely
another option that can be used to achieve the same result. I will
definitely look.

I’ve noticed some odd behavior with Apple Mail since I upgraded to Big Sur,
