Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards
 Nisar

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)

I can't open two eml files with Thunderbid

I want to open two .eml files with Thunderbid. When I try to do it, I can open the first, but when I try to open the second Thunderbird doesn't do it.

It sounds like the files that aren't working are likely corrupt or perhaps not properly designated as .eml files. When you say "Thunderbird doesn't do it" do you mean Thunderbird doesn't launch, or do you mean it tries to open the file and returns an error? The error could be helpful in the latter case, as could information about where the file came from. In the former case, FYI, when I drag attached .eml files (from e-mails forwarded as attachments) to my desktop, they are named "Inbox" (as opposed to Inbox.eml). I rename them to add the .eml and then I can open them with Thunderbird, but otherwise I will be prompted by Windows for what to do with them.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Read my external drive files with Apple TV

Hello,
I just got yesterday the latest version of Apple TV and I am looking to be able to read files using Apple TV on my external drive, including MP3 and video files. I'm a novice with iTunes and Apple products and I'm on Windows 7 with my computer.
Can anyone help me? My 1st goal is to keep everything on my external drive to avoid filling my hard drive.
Thanks for the help.

What you need to do is add media files to itunes from the external drive 'by reference' which will note where they are but not copy then to the internal hard drive.
Please note these files have to be in the correct format (h264) or they won't stream. If they're not you'll have to convert using something like Handbrake.
To add files 'by reference' change irtunes Preferences > Advanced tab and untick the box which talks about copying to iTunes when added.

Apple script for Message box when Mail app Compose Window Opens

Hi there
I'm trying to make mail app remind me to choose the right emaill address to send from since I have several email addresses. Is there a way I can make or write an apple script for a message box to pop up whenever mail app's compose window opens up.
I can do for the case when I actally click the compose button when I'm on mail app by using UI scripting. But when it comes to hyperlinks which opens up the compose window, it fails.
I just want a script to see whether the compose window is open and if open pop up a message box.
Thanks
Best regards

By the way, the problem happens with the account of MS Exchange service, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem.
I think yes. The encoding is being corrupted somewhere, probably Exchange. There is nothing you can change on the iPad other than the OS languagel, to see if that helps. You can also tell Apple at

Can't open .EML files with Mail?

A relative has an old G4 tower and he's running Tiger. He's got an old version of Mail. He used to be able to open .EML files with it, but his friend came over and fixed up his printer/scanner and now he can't open them. I can open them just fine cause I'm running 10.6.6... it's just weird how it suddenly stopped for him when his friend fixed the scanner... anyone know how he can open .EML files again?
Thanks!!!

how this is going to help to isolate the issue?
Even if it is going to work with another user account, I still have to keep this user active as the primary account.
If it works in another account, then the problem is likely just a preference file or something else account specific. Those problems can be easily fixed. If it happens in the new account, then it is a system problem.
The first step to solving a problem is figuring out where it is.

Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

Hi! I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly. I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
Thank you!!

Thank you for all the input! JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook. I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst. I also need it written to a log file. Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...

On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application? If so how do I perform this activity?

Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

I cannot imagine any problems in doing so, but you can keep your cs6 installation anyway.

How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

Hi,
I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files. I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale.
I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
I get a "Can't find alias" error. How do I specify the AutoCAD options? I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I'll answer my own question. Here's how I specified the options:
open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use. The variable names didn't work. I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script. Here's what the codes translate to:
pGSO = "global scale options"
pASU = "scale unit"
pASR = "scale ratio"
Thanks,
Chris

Can't open my domain files with iweb??

I have a new Hard drive version 10.5.8. I have my old website files but iweb (3.0.3) will not open them. I've tried a few suggestions but nothing works. iweb just keeps prompting me to start a new site???

For opening your domain file or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
Use the iWeb Switch Domain application to open those various domain.sites files to see which one actually contains your web site. Once you've found the right domain file delete the others.

Apple Scripting for Microsfot Power Point 2011

Hi,
I am having problem with following apple script. This is working fine with Office 2004 but when i am using office 2011 then on action is changing to «class BCOa». Can any one please help me in this. I will be very thankful
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
set btnAbout to make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {control type:control button, button style:button caption}
-- Set button style in "with properties" block
set width of btnAbout to 60
set name of btnAbout to "About"
set *on action* of btnAbout to "cpsHandleAbout"
set tooltip text of btnAbout to "About CPS for PowerPoint"
end tell

Hm, not sure if this helps, but perhaps... first create this command button by hand...
then run
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
get properties of command bar control "About" of command bar "CPS"
end tell
this returns the properties of this button...
something like:
{class:command bar button, begin group:false, built in:true, name:"About", description text:"", enabled:true, height:22, help context ID: 0, help file:"", id:2520, entry_index:1, left position:674, parameter:"", priority:3, tag:"", tooltip text:"&About", top:324, control type:control button, visible:true, width:28, button face is default:false, face id:23, button state:button state up, button style:button automatic}
If the button uses a build in command you will get to know the id of this command...
e.g. the ID is 23 (open file)
make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {id:23}
and this would create such a new button...
But I am not sure who to get a list of all action ids...

Hi ,
I want to create a ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items. Preferably SAP GUI.

Firstly: I have to sort the external file having same PO Numbers in an order.Group them together.
Second: I have to create sales order for those many line items having same PO Number.

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order

Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files

Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!

Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files. Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp).

Open Acrobat pdf file with Pages

Hi,
I've read a lot of information about using pdf files with the ipad. I purchased goodreader but I'm not happy with the way text is rendered, it is blurry. When I open the same file with Safari, it looks perfect. Sent an email and I'm waiting for a response.
I was reading about Apple Pages for the ipad. Will this open pdf files or just export to pdf files? Thanks.

Pages is a word processor, not a pdf reader. It can only export to pdf.
