Freron MailMate

Dear Benny

Alfred v2 has a neat feature to quickly attach a specified file to a new email: "Email to...". This feature uses the default mail client, and its integration with Mailmate is described in this Alfred Forum post.

For the last six months or so, this feature worked seamlessly: in the last fortnight or so it stopped working.
I am using:

• OSX 10.9.3;
• Mailmate Version 1.8 (4338) (although the problem was also present in 4158, from which I have just upgraded this morning); and
• Alfred v2.3 (264).

The feature works correctly when:

• Mail is the default mail client;
• Airmail is the default mail client; and
• Mailmate is the default mail client, and Mailmate is not running.

If I had to speculate, I'd guess that an update to Alfred was the cause of the problem, as I'm sure the feature was still working when I'd last upgraded Mailmate. Any help would be appreciated!

The relevant code, from "~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Plugins/Email/MailMate.applescript", is pasted below.

-- Send an email with an attachment
on url_encode(theText)
    return do shell script "printf " & quoted form of theText & " | xxd -u -plain | sed 's/\\(..\\)/%\\1/g' | tr -d '\\n'"
end url_encode

on create_mailto(_subject, _body, _attachments, _email, _name)
    
    set _to to _email
    if (_name is not "") then
        set _to to _name & " <" & _email & ">"
    end if
    set _mailto to "mailto:?to=" & url_encode(_to) & "&subject=" & url_encode(_subject) & "&body=" & url_encode(_body)
    
    repeat with _attachment in _attachments
        set _filePath to POSIX path of _attachment
        set _mailto to _mailto & "&attachment-url=file://" & url_encode(_filePath)
    end repeat
    
    return _mailto
    
end create_mailto

on send_email_with_attachment(ename, eemail, esubject, ebody, eattachment)
    
    set _mailto to create_mailto(esubject, ebody, eattachment, eemail, ename)
    tell application "MailMate"
        open location _mailto with trust
        activate
    end tell
end send_email_with_attachment
