Applescript mail used to work...

Question

but just stopped...my app receives email via a mail rule, processes it via osascript, then sends a reply...this worked until 12mar:
tell application "Mail"
tell (make new outgoing message with properties ¬
{subject:"re: " & cmd, content:(resultMsg as string) & return})
set sender to my dvrEmail
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:replyTo}
send
end tell
end tell
here's the sent msg:
Subject: re: tvpi2DVR:send2sammy
From: [email protected]
Date: March 12, 2010 8:25:40 AM EST
To: [email protected]
[email protected] - tvpi2DVR:send2sammy
/tmp/1003_12__08_2534-program.tvpi
to
/Volumes/DVR/recordings/ScheduleMar_17_2010__08_00_5-1PM.tvpi
crontab updated
but by 16mar, the recipient was no longer getting set, thus no send. everything else is fine..the unsent msg sits in drafts, showing all expected inputs but no recipient:
Subject: re: tvpi2DVR:send2sammy

crontab updated
a simple standalone test script works, but the osascript invocation simply ignores the replyTo value, which is valid (and was output in the body of the msg)
i don't recall when i applied the 10.6.3 update, but perhaps something changed with mail...any ideas?

Answer 1

someone mentioned needing a delay in mail, so i put one just before the send, and it works again...seems snow leopard has event timing issues:-(
