mail.app event handler doesn't paste 'To' address

[TLReed]

Howdy all,

 

I'm working with Mac Server 6.0 edition, running on OS X Tiger 10.4.2 server. I've just clean installed Retrospect and copied the mail.app event handler into the Retrospect preferences folder.

 

I've added one mail address into the Main group, using quote marks and saved it. When I run a script, the event handler launches mail.app, which then complains there's no 'To' address in the generated email, so it cannot be sent.

 

I can't see any problems in the setup. It's fairly straightforward to put in an email address in the event handler script using quote marks on each side. I've tried different iterations of this but get the same result. Mail does not get sent because there's no address on the 'To:' line.

 

Any tips appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try using the Python script instead of trying to wrestle Mail into working.
