Maybe its a bug but display name won’t set, the address works fine, just not the recipients name.
If its a bug or someone can see a problem with my code please let me know.

code example: the variables are strings
make new to recipient at beginning of to recipients with properties {name:customer, address:customer_email}

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

I use this (working) new_Mail subroutine

new_Mail("new mail", "Hello, this is my message", "me@mydomain.com", "John Doe", "john@doe.com", ((path to desktop as Unicode text) & "test.txt"), "", false)

on new_Mail(theSubject, theBody, theSender, theName, theAddress, theAttachment, theSignature, toSend)
	tell application "Mail"
		set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return}
		tell newMessage
			set sender to theSender
			make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:theName, address:theAddress}
			tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment as alias} at after the last paragraph
			if theSignature is not "" then set message signature to theSignature
		end tell
		activate
		if toSend then send newMessage
	end tell
end new_Mail

Hi SurferJoe

looks like maybe “at beginning of” should be "at end of "

make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:customer, address:customer_email}

That didn’t work either. It must be a problem with the mail app.
Thank you though,
Joe
