Hi
Sorry, I am new to Automator and can use some help.
I wish to select a file then generate a new mail with the name of that file in the subject field.
Is this something i can do in Automator?
Thanks

Hey There,
I’m not going to bother with Automator (although it should be doable).
Here’s an Applescript that will do the job.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try
tell application "Finder"
set sel to selection as alias list
if sel ≠{} then
set _file to first item of sel
set _name to name of _file
else
error "No files were selected in the Finder!"
end if
end tell
tell application "Mail"
set newMsg to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:_name, visible:true}
end tell
on error e number n
set e to e & return & return & "Num: " & n
tell me to set dDlg to display dialog e with title "ERROR!" buttons {"Cancel", "Copy", "OK"} default button "OK"
if button returned of dDlg = "Copy" then set the clipboard to e
end try
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Chris
Thought I would have to resort back to applescript… Just figured this was the kind of thing that the variables in Automator was for.
