Automated salutation in Mail "Hello To " as a shortcut?

Hello,
it would be nice to have a shortcut that types an automated salutation in Mail "Hello <To>" where <To> is the recipient of my mail. Is there an extension or can I get "Typinator" or "TextExpander" to do this?
Regards,
Metuschelach

In Thunderbird there is an extension named Quicktext that is able to do that.

How do I set-up Automator to open Mail when I start up Mac OS X?

How do I set-up Automator to open Mail when I start up Mac OS X? Provided that this is how I would do it.

You don't need Automator.
Just add Mail to the login items in SystemPreferences>Accounts
or
If Mail is on the Dock, Ctrl-click the icon and select 'Open at Login'

Get report of Automated jobs in mail

Hi to all,
How can I Get report of Automated jobs in mail.Like particular datafile is out of space.

The easiest way is to setup OEM monitoring. There are plenty of tools out there that do the same job, but if you don't want to buy software then there are also plenty of places on the web where you can download Oracle monitoring scripts.
I do not recommend downloading other people's scripts. If you write your own scripts to select from the data dictionary you will learn a lot about the database and about scripting.

Some automated actions with Mail

Hello,
I started a new post because the topic is now about Mail.app.
(Advice from Camelot, it's better to use mail for this kind of automation)
I will use a mail rule to selected the mail with subject. and attach a applescript for those emails with that subject.
So the attached applescript should do this:
1 print the email - always the same printer
2 save the attachments to always the same directory.
That's it.
Any help would be appreciated !
This is what I found For mail and attachments but don't know how to start doing this.
mail attachment n [inh. item] : A file attached to a received message.
elements
contained by messages.
properties
name (string, r/o) : Name of the attachment
MIME type (string, r/o) : MIME type of the attachment E.g. text/plain.
file size (integer, r/o) : Approximate size in bytes.
downloaded (boolean, r/o) : Indicates whether the attachment has been downloaded.
id (string, r/o) : The unique identifier of the attachment.
Print command in mail :
print v : Print an object.
print reference : list of objects to print
-----

First : I'm trying to save the Mail attachments now.
I found this information on MacTech.
I have a mail action that should trigger this script. But nothing happens.
Try running it without the perform mail action it stops at the item 1 part.
on performmailaction(theData)
set theOutputFolder to ("Macintosh HD:Users:gast:Documents:vis:") as string
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to selection
set theMessage to item 1 of theMessages
set theAttachments to every attachment of content of theMessage
repeat with a from 1 to length of theAttachments
set theAttachment to item a of theAttachments
try
set theAttachmentName to name of theAttachment
set theSavePath to theOutputFolder & theAttachmentName
save theAttachment in theSavePath
end try
end repeat
end tell
end performmailaction

Automator to Batch Mail?

Hello,
I'd like to be able to select a large number of photos in finder then have automator send each one in a single email to an account. Is that possible?
Thanks

you can do it as follows
make the following workflow
1. get selected (or specified) finder items
2. run apple script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_item in input
tell application "Mail"
activate
set NewOne to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"whatever you want here", content:"and whatever you want here", visible:true}
tell NewOne
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
tell content of NewOne
make new attachment with properties {file name:this_item} at after last paragraph
end tell
end tell
send NewOne
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end run</pre>
modify the above as neede. If you want the whole process to happen in background remove visible:true form the script. also, you might want to insert a line
delay 5
before
end repeat
to allow Mail time to send. the delay is in seconds and can be adjusted.

Automated execution and mailing of BeX reports

Hi,
I have a requirement which goes like this:
There is a report which gives a P&L statement for a cost center. Say I have one parent Cost Center Group and there are 100 Cost Centers within that group. The report allows the user to select variants based on the cost center. So they have to execute this report every month for 100 different cost centers in order to generate a P&L for each cost center.
Now the users want some sort of automated way to execute the reports every month for each cost center within a cost center group and then the results (XL based) delivered to them through email. The mail should contain workbooks or BeX reports.
Is it possible to implement this? If yes then how can this be achieved?
We are running BW 3.5.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Arun,
Do you have some document on how to use the RSCRM_BAPI transaction?
everytime I try to run an extract it generates an error "No authorization to create extract /BIC/0CYYNIKTEST of type Table"
and when I try to execute the query - it generates an OLAP error in a key figure.
The query is quite complexin the sense that it uses structures in both the rows & columns sections and also uses all possible types of variables and also hs built in variants already.
I would be grateful if you can send across some document on the transaction. I would have posted docs & screenshots of the query, but there is no way in SDn to do that.
Thanks & regards,
Nikhil

Can anyone help with Automator/Scripts with Mail Items

I have a set up a smart folder in mail and it shows about 100 emails. These vary in content, addresses and recipients. The emails also have an extended threads.
I need to generate a report with the emails (including threads) by subject time, date. etc.
It will need to analyse the From: To: Date: Time: Subject: for each of the top email and also (all the threads within each email).
How could Automator be scripted to do such a task. Manually it will be very time consuming and difficult.
1. I am a newbee to automator and scripting is this likely to be beyond me?
2. Are there any good sources of scripts available on the web which could be adapted?
3. What is the recommended reading for writing, applying and using Scripting?

Salutation in mail forms.

Dear CRM gurus.
We are facing the following issue. When we want to create a mail form and when we want to create text different text elements using different salutation, we cannot use the conditions properly.
We cannot use basic conditions for distinguishing the salutation. Once we want to use salutation from the system field TITLE_LET (Salutation) when the fields is not empty even the field TITLE_MEDI (Title) is filled. Than we want to enter text element with salutation Mr. Mrs etc. when the field TITLE_LET (Salutation) is empty. But how we can tell the CRM that it should consider or not consider u201CEMPTYu201D field? And how to tell system that when the fields TITLE_LET (Salutation) and TITLE_MEDI (Title) are empty use the third possibility u2013 text elements with common salutation as u201CDear allu201D. Is it possible to use different way how to do this?
And what more, when we use field TITLE_LET (Salutation) in the text element it happens that the system enter data from field TITLE_MEDI (Title) instead.
Thank you for any hints.
Best regards,
Petr

Hi Petr,
I've created a custom function module that creates the salutation depending on the language and country. I.e. in Germany only the academic title Dr. or Prof. are part of the salutation. In Austria every academic title i.e. "Ing." must be added. This function module is called using the BAdI CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI.
Best regards
Gregor

Automator w/ Group Mailer Truncating Messages

I am attempting to send out an email to every person in my Address Book who has an email. I created a smart group in Address Book and am using that to send my messages. I am going to be getting married and I would like to announce the dates when those are set. I am also having a child and would love to email everyone when it's time.
I can get the people I need to get. The problem is the mail message gets shorter and shorter every time a new message is created eg:
To:[email protected]
Body: "Hey guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body: " guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body:" lah Blah"
My workflow looks like this:
1. New Message
2. Find People whose group = has email
3. Group Mailer
4. Send Message

Not sure why you would need to use Automator. Why not just send a single email out using the group as the addressee and hide the addresses?
To send emails to a group and hide group member names and addresses when sending a message to a group created in Address Book do the following.
1. Open Mail and choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" and close Mail Preferences.
Then when you send an email to a group, only the group name will be seen.

Using Automator Workflows in Mail

Automator Workflow for Mail Printing?????

How can I print out all all mail (250 emails) in a single mailbox into a single file, which I can save as a PDF?
I looked even for an Automator workflow that would
Print; Preview: Save As
so that I would then have a serires of PDFs that I could then import all the individual PDF pages in to Acrobat to create a single document, but Automator does not have these options.
Any thougt would be very helpful. Thanks!!
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I don't believe you can do it the first way.
However there are at least three ways to do it the second way.
1) Use System Events GUI scripting exclusively to drive the user interface i.e., selecting menu items and pushing buttons;
2) Use some of 1) along with Mail's AppleScripting capabilities. GUI scripting would still be needed for Preview as it does not have AppleScript capabilities;
3) Install the cups-pdf solution called "Virtual Printer" (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20219) that allows one to create pdf files from anything that can be printed using the print dialog. This would also have to be driven using one or both of GUI scripting and Applescript.
If you do a lot of PDF printing then I would recommend 3) and generally 1) is less robust than 2). Myself or others on this forum should be able to help with whichever solution you prefer.

Snooze an email message? (Automator Workflow in Mail)

I want to snooze an email message in Mail.
Meaning make it disappear and come back at certain time later...
Anyone have thoughts on how to approach this in Automator?
I've been told to have Mail pass the message to iCal and have it resent that way, but I was hoping to just work within the Mail.app.

Here's a way to do almost exactly what you're asking (slightly different) by using Automator to pass the message to iCal:

Delivery status in mail (hello?)

it seems that lately some of my sent mails are lost in cyberspace.
i don't get a faillure notice from the mailsverver, and still some of my mails (even without attachment) never arrive at adresses that i very often use... can i get a delivery status with 'mail'?
tnx,
axel.

Eventually you should get an error report, othwise
you must assume it is delivered.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Spam has utterly degraded the e-mail experience. I assure you that it's entirely possible, and quite common actually, for a message to never arrive at the destination without the sender receiving any error notification at all. It has happened to me multiple times, on both sides, and with different ISPs.

Campaign automation sender e-mail

hi experts,
I have done the following,
In the CA UI page,
1) under the Channels tab, I select Channel as E-mail but as for the "Sender E-mail" field, the number of words i want to type in seem to be limited, thus resulting in me not being able to type in the e-mail address for the sender. Why is this so?
2) Let's say the Campaign Element here is for "Survey Registration Mail", how will i define the TGs for it? I am supposing that it is supposed to be done by the client themselves? am i right?

Hi Noobie,
The sender email address has to be maintained at
IMGmp and cmpersonalized mail--maintain sender email address, here you to maintain the sender address and enter in the channel tab, then it will take full email address of the sender.
You no need to define TG separetly for survey registation mail, according to ur client requirement, who are the customer they want to contact, create them as TG, and assign it to the particular campaign element where your survery registration mail is attached.
once after G0-Live of the project, TG are created by end users only depending on their requirment.
