AppleScript Mail using URL

So, here's my problem.
I have a message URL which goes something along the line of "message://%3c<Some string of numbers, hyphons etc.>%3e"
What I want it to have a message id of the format "message id ### of mailbox "<Some mailbox name>" of account "Google""
At the moment, I'm opening the URL, setting the message to the selection, and that variable is then of the form above that I want it.
Does anyone know of any script that will take in a Message URL and churn out a Message ID for Mail?
Thanks to everyone!!!

Well, for a start you're not setting your AppleScript variable to a URL - you're setting it to the content of the email. Sure, that content may contain a URL, but it will also contain other characters such as the return after the URL, which is what the %0A translates to.
In other words you're assuming the content of the email is just a URL, which isn't the case - it's a URL followed by a new line.
If you're confident that the format of the email will be consistent and you just need to nix the last character you can use something like:
set theText to content of theMessage
set theText to (characters 1 through -2 of theText) as text
This will chop off the last character, whatever that may be.
If it's also just the linefeed at the end of the URL you're concerned about, you could also:
set theText to paragraph 1 of (content of theMessage)
This will ignore anything past the first line - useful if there's ever any other content in the message.
One other observation - your script says:
set the clipboard to theText
I don't know what you plan to do with the URL in the rest of the script (if there is any), but in general you should avoid manipulating the clipboard in your script. Since this is running as a mail rule, it could get invoked at any time, including when you're working in some other application and may have copied some data to the process of some other workflow. As soon as this mail triggers you lose your previous clipboard contents in favor of the URL in the email.
I would look more closely at what you intend to do with the URL - for example if you plan to pass that URL to some other application then look to do so directly, not via the clipboard.

Applescript mail used to work...

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:

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?

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:-(

Sending email using URL and URLConnection

I have been having trouble trying to send an email using URL.
I have specified the mail host using: mailHost = Options.getProperty("mailHost", "mail.myisp.com");
and tried to send the email using this:
try
try
URL u = new URL("mailto:"+recipient);
URLConnection c = u.openConnection();
c.setDoInput(true);
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream()));
out.print("From:\"ME\" \n");
out.print("Subject: Stuff \n");
out.print("blah blah blah");
out.close();
catch etc. . .
I recieve the email with the subject line there, but the actual body of the email is empty. Anyone know what I have done wrong? This is part of a standalone application that was turned into an .exe with jbuilder9.

That worked, thanks!
Out of curious, why the surprise that it worked?
Its not that bad is it?Yeah, I didn't know that mailto: support was there either, is all. The blank line thing is just common in HTTP and sendmail so, I figured that would be the solution.
I don't know that it's bad... if it works. Generally, the JavaMail APIs are a more robust way of sending mail, but if mailto: URLs work, and it's simple mail, then I see no reason not to use it.

I've not reviewed all of your code/config there, but the error seems to me to indicate a problem parsing your log4j.xml file - have you been able to get a simple configuration working? Can you parse other XML files?

Need to send a link in mail using apex

Hi,
I need to send a mail using apex which will contain a link for a specific page. For sending mail , I used the following query:
for c1 in (select EMAIL_ADDRESS
             from USER_DETAILS
            where USER_NAME= :P4_USER_NAME and EMAIL_ADDRESS=:P4_EMAIL_ADDRESS) loop
if c1.EMAIL_ADDRESS is not null then
    HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
      P_TO       => c1.EMAIL_ADDRESS,
      P_FROM     => '[email protected]',
      P_BODY     => 'Your new password is '|| 'xyzxyz',
      P_SUBJ     => 'Password detail' );
end if;
end loop;
But how i will send the required link.
Pls give some idea.
Thanks,
Chandra Bhanu

Hi Chandra,
Try this version of your code, you will alter the url to map to your apex server.
DECLARE
   l_body   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   FOR c1
      IN (SELECT email_address
            FROM user_details
           WHERE     user_name = :p4_user_name
                 AND email_address = :p4_email_address)
   LOOP
      IF c1.email_address IS NOT NULL
      THEN
         -- Include link to login page
         l_body :=
               '<p>Your new password is '
            || 'xyzxyz'
            || ' To access the application and change your password, follow the '
            || 'link below.</p><p><a href="http://'
            || '</p><p><a href="http://edwprd:7777/pls/oitp/f?p=&APP_ID.:LOGIN</a></p>';
         apex_mail.send (p_to     => c1.email_address,
                         p_from   => '[email protected]',
                         p_body   => l_body,
                         p_subj   => 'Password detail');
      END IF;
   END LOOP;
END;

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

Tracking Undelivered E-Mail using UTL_SMTP

I am sending e-mail using UTL_SMTP. If there is any error in the e-mail delivery for e.g. say if the E-Mail bounced etc. then can i capture those events in my code?
E-Mail can bounce back for any reason. for e.g. e-mail address is not valid. What all error we can capture using UTL_SMTP?

The SMTP server receives the mail. It tells the client (your code, mail reader, whatever) that is has accepted the connection. That is the extent of the conversation. The SMTP protocol does not report on delivery steps, delivery status and so on.
From a SMTP protocol perspective, the mail payload was delivered to that server. And that's it.
The mail delivery runs into a problem. It could be on the SMTP server that accepted your mail. It could be a SMTP server on the other side of the world that is passing your e-mail along, 24 hours later.
There are 2 types of problems. A soft bounce. This means that the server attempted delivery, and it failed - but the delivery attempt can be retried. For example, there could be a network problem (and this could shortly be rectified). In such a case, that SMTP server will look at the sender's address and send a soft bounce notification to the sender. It will describe the basic problem and how it will be handled - e.g. mail server may perform 3 more attempts at delivery in the next 12h and then hard bounce your e-mail.
A hard bounce is a fatal error. For example, the SMTP server attempts to deliver your e-mail to its final destination (the mail server of the recipient's domain). That server says that the recipient (mail user) does not exist at that domain.
In that case, the SMTP server will send the sender of that e-mail a hard bounce notification - informing the sender of what the fatal error is.
So in order to get the bounce message, you need to supply a valid sender e-mail address when delivering that e-mail to the SMTP server. You then need to monitor that e-mail account (using the POP3 or IMAP protocols) for bounce e-mail notifications.
However, even that will not indicate whether that original e-mail your code send was delivered successfully. And this is the bottom line - there are no guarantees. The SMTP and POP3/IMAP protocols cannot and do not guarantee you being able to determine whether or not an e-mail reached its intended destination.
This is often why e-mails are send with a URL and a request that the recipient please click the URL when receiving the e-mail. That is the only method to determine whether the recipient received the e-mail, provided the recipient is willing to click that URL in that e-mail message.

How to login owa using URL embedding username and password?

Hi, guys
Whether can users login O365 owa using url embedding username and password? Such as https://mail.mycompany.com/owa/....username=myalias...pwd=password... ?
I found a post http://blog.leederbyshire.com/2012/10/12/how-to-login-to-owa-2010-by-passing-credentials-in-the-url-querystring/
But it doesn't work.
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think we can login Office 365 OWA using url embedding username and password.
The post you found may be a way to login OWA 2010. As mentioned in the post you provided, we need to use code to support with the URL
https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/owa/?un=yourusername&pw=yourpassword#sthash.cuiZTz5Y.dpuf, not just a simple
URL.
There is a location in the blog you mentioned:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\auth\logon.aspx
It's a location on a computer which installed Exchange server. As stated in the blog, we need to insert the code into the logon.aspx
file and then login OWA with the URL.
However, for Office 365 OWA which uses a cloud based server, we can do nothing to change the logon.aspx file for Office 365 OWA. That's why I don't think we can do the trick.

Can not find some messages in Mail using search

I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

Cannot Send Mail using AIM account.

I can receive mail fine but when I try to send mail I get the following message:
Cannot send mail using the server smtp.aim.com:EmilyLozano.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.

I left for a trip a few days ago, came back and now for no apparent reason cannot send mail as I always have. I have reconfigured the port to 587 and that did not help. Any suggestions? (I can send and receive fine via the web, but I really hate it.)

I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

PROBLEM while using URL in order to open a file from a servlet

Hi,
I am having a problem while trying to open a file from my servlet by using URL connection. Following is my code sample. what happens is when I first run my project it opens the file but after that when I rerun it again and again it sometimes opens it and sometimes not. if it can't open it it gives an error saying "the file is damaged and couldn't be repaired". I don't get any exceptions. if you guys can help me I will appreciate it so much... thanks.
here is my code :
URL url = new URL("http://demobcs.ibm.com:81/test.pdf");
resp.setContentType(getContentType("http://demobcs.ibm.com:81/test.pdf"));
          ServletOutputStream sos = null;
          BufferedInputStream bis = null;
          try {
               sos = resp.getOutputStream();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("exception !!!!");
               e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("burada2");
          try {
               byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
               //bis = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
               DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(url.openStream());
               //DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
               bis = new BufferedInputStream(in);
               int j;
               while ((j = bis.read(bytes, 0, 4096)) != -1) {
                    try {
                         sos.write(bytes, 0, 4096);
                         System.out.println("file is being read ...:");
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
               in.close();
               bis.close();
               //sos.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("exception :"+e.toString());
               e.printStackTrace();
          }

You are writing (<filesize> mod 4096) bytes of crap at the end of the file. Use your variable j instead for the number of bytes to write in your loop.

Open BI Publisher report using URL View activity

Hi,
i need to call BI Publisher report and I want to use URL View activity (i followed instruction on http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/07/30/customizing-obi-ee-%e2%80%93-go-url-parameters/ but i can't have HTML Form inside af:form)
But parameters on URL View activity are visible and i have to send username and pass..
Is there another way?
Tnx.
Andreja

Yes, I can put HTML form at top or bottom of page but i wanted to put in panelCollection (because of page design)....
but I will think out something to look nicely too :)
Tnx
