Get all Signatures of Mail in Sierra

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi all

Got this working on my Mac before I update it to Sierra today


getsignatures("")
on getsignatures(paramString)
	tell application "Mail"
		set listOfSignatures to "Default"
		set siglist to name of every signature
		repeat with sig in siglist
			if listOfSignatures is not "" then
				set listOfSignatures to listOfSignatures & ";"
			end if
			set listOfSignatures to listOfSignatures & sig as string
		end repeat
		set result to listOfSignatures as string
	end tell
end getsignatures

I have two signatures in Mail and it give me two times a missing value now in Sierra.

Any help is much appriciated

Update: Also setting the Signature with script is not working, but that is not strange if you can’t read them.
Seems to be a bug in Sierra, Where can we report this ?

bugreport.apple.com

You need an Apple developer account first (you can get them free).

Thanks Shane, done

Hi, another problem with Mail and AppleScript :confused:
I uninstalled Sierra because of that but found a workaround posted on Apple forums:


try  
  set message signature of new_message to signature mySignature  
  
  on error --BUG SIERRA  
   
 tell application "Mail" to activate  
  tell application "System Events"  
  tell process "Mail"  
  click pop up button 1 of window 1  
  delay 0.1  
  keystroke "g" --put here the first letter of the name of your signature  
  delay 0.1  
  keystroke return  
  delay 0.1  
  end tell  
  end tell  
  
  
  end try

When I try this I get:

on: set message signature of new_message to signature mySignature

Syntax Error
A identifier can’t go after this identifier

Can anyone assist me to overcome this please…

:o :o :o :o :o
I can’t believe it but… Apple did fix the broken signature with Apple Mail in Catalina…
It was broken since Sierra…

So, this now works :


tell application "Mail"
	
	set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Incredible news", visible:true, content:"Hello !"}
	delay 1
	set message signature of newMessage to signature MySignature
end tell

It seems miracles happen… :rolleyes:
Or maybe it’s because of a new bug that restores this command accidentally :lol:
