Mail.app Send Email
Overview
Use the bundled AppleScript to compose and optionally send Mail.app messages with structured inputs (to/cc/bcc/subject/body/attachments).
Quick Start
Run the AppleScript via osascript with --to, --subject, and --body. Pass comma-separated lists for multiple recipients or attachments.
osascript /Users/ivancampos/.codex/skills/mailapp-send-email/scripts/send_mail.applescript \
--to "test@test.com" \
--subject "hello" \
--body "testing"
Inputs
Use these flags. Only --to, --subject, and --body are required.
--tosingle email or comma-separated list--ccoptional comma-separated list--bccoptional comma-separated list--subjectsubject line--bodymessage body--attachoptional comma-separated POSIX file paths--sendoptionaltrue|false(defaulttrue, send immediately)
Behavior
- Create a new outgoing message in Mail.app.
- By default send immediately. If
--send false, leave the draft visible for review. - If
--attachis provided, add each file path as an attachment.
Troubleshooting
- If Mail.app automation prompts appear, grant permissions in System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation.
- If attachments fail, ensure paths are absolute POSIX paths and the files exist.
