Hi all,

I am working on an app that generates an AppleScript which is then executed in Microsoft Outlook to create a new email. Two questions:

1. When issuing an 'answer file' command (to select the would-be file attachments), how can I make it so that only PDF files are selectable? I looked at the dictionary and this forum for examples but can't find the right syntax for PDF files.
2. Once the user selects the PDF file attachment(s), is there a way to pass those selections through to Outlook so that the corresponding files are automatically attached to the generated email?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi.

#1- Does the "answer file with type" do the trick?

#2- Not sure how LC would do that, but someone might know a way.

Does the revMail command have options for attachments?

Hi FourthWorld,

In looking at the dictionary, it doesn't seem like it does. Maybe LC will add this functionality in a future version.

Thanks everyone,
Jon

maybe you can use MS Outlook Rest API's?

LC can send emails with attachments. Look at the email example of Sarah Reichelt.

Hi sphere,

Do you have a link to the example from Sarah Reichelt?

Thanks,
