Correction and apology...
Authored by: robg on Sep 22, '02 01:47:07AM

1) I fixed the script; my apologies for not catching it this morning.

2) In the course of editing the article, I managed to delete all the comments (three, I think) that were posted here. One contained the corrections to the script, but I don't recall what the other two were discussing ... apologies again; it wasn't a good night to edit, apparently.

Thanks for fixing it! This script is definitely needed by all who don't like the retarded mail.app question of wether or not to send the email or not.. It gets frustrating!

While annoying, the reason is far from stupid. Security appears to be the main goal of asking the user to allow AppleScript to send mail. If it didn't ask, an unknowing user might launch a malicious AS that gets all the addresses from his/her address book and mails a copy of itself (i.e. what MS Outlook virii do on a daily basis).

Using sendmail is a good workaround, though!

While I realize this, and do know why it's there, it's still frustrating having Mail.app get in the way and not getting the email when I'm not around to click "send" :)
