Having some issues with calling an ApleScript from a Mail Rule. The purpose of the script is to send an email to the sender of the email identified by the Mail rule and attach a file to it. Here’s the script:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages The_Messages
set FilePath to {"Macintosh HD:Users:Dad:Documents:Scores"} as string
tell application "Mail"
repeat with thisMessage in The_Messages
set theSubject to subject of thisMessage
display dialog "processing message " & theSubject
set theSenderName to extract name from sender of thisMessage
set theSenderAddress to extract address from sender of thisMessage
if theSubject contains "SCORE001" then
set FilePath to {"Macintosh HD:Users:Dad:Documents:Scores:SCORE001.pdf"} as string
else if theSubject contains "SCORE002" then
set FilePath to {"Macintosh HD:Users:Dad:Documents:Scores:SCORE002.pdf"} as string
end if
set file_attachment to FilePath as alias
set newSubject to "Thank you for your score order"
set theBody to "Thank you for ordering my music Score. Your score is attached to this email as a pdf file." & return & return
display dialog "making new message"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:newSubject, content:theBody}
display dialog "adding recipient"
tell newMessage to make new to recipient with properties {name:theSenderName, address:theSenderAddress}
tell newMessage to make new attachment with properties {file name:file_attachment} at after the last word of the last paragraph
send newMessage
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
You’ll see I’ve got some display dialog statements in there to track whats going on. The last display I see is the “making new message” one, the script doesn;t reach the “adding recipient display”.
Any ideas what is going wrong?
