Restore bounce to Mail in Lion

Hi Maverick!

Thanks for your AppleScript.

Could you please tell me how do I make it work?

I double click the script and then what?

Thanks!

Thank you, CHarrison! 🙂

It works!!!!!!!!!

I had a couple of problems with another one I tried but this one worked great. 🙂

THANK YOU!!!!

and I don't need anyone to tell me what I like or want.

I agree with you. Unfortunately that's not the direction Apple is going.

Yawnnnnnn. Bounce.

I can't get the bouncd Applescript to work at all in Mail 5.1. I added the line

reply eachMessage with opening window

following the line

bounce eachMessage

to make sure that the script was running. When I run the service saved by Automator, it opens up a reply window to reply to the selected message. If I reply to the selected message (from myself) I get the reply. But I never get the bounce message. Bounce does not show up in the Applescript dictionary for Mail.

Under Message in the Mail Applescript dictionary it says:

responds to

open, bounce, forward, redirect, reply.

If I click on "open" it takes me to the description for open. But if I click on "bounce" nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Thank you. This worked like always!

But by the time the spam emails are sent, the mail accounts are long closed down. I don't see how Bounce can possibly work. Can someone explain to me how Bouncing Mail will reduce spam emails?

Thank You in Advance

If you're talking about actual spam, and not messages from real people or companies, then bouncing won't reduce it. It will just contribute more to the problem by sending to an inappropriate address, or if it reaches the spammer may actually make you a bigger target. But nobody on this thread seems to care about that, they believe that it reduces spam and aren't interested in the reasons why it won't.

Thanks Thomas, that is what I was always led to believe. That is also why I was checking to make sure there wasn't something I was missing. I hadn't realised the Bounce feature had gone in Mail (and won't).

Thanks again for clearing up what I had been told a fair while back, when Bounce was thrown into the Mail Toolbar.

Happy Computing Thomas A.

Same here. I am ignorant of how to connect. I assumed that the "Messages" pull down in mail would

contain "bounce". but that assumption is wrong. The missing steps here are assumed to be trivial. I don't know them either. I copied, and followed. JBW Tuckers advice. Okay, now what?

For the totally lame, what comes after the "name it, click save, and you are done"?

I open mail, and there is no "bounce" in my messages pull down. I have come to the conclusion that I have

to execute the Automator script at some point in the mail program, when the mail that I have highlighted is the one that I want "bounced". It is not crystal how one does that. Thanks.

Thanks, Maverick! It was the "Services" menu that I had to access, and without your link, I would never have found it!!! Crystal!

For me, the way I implemented it (and I think the way it was described, but I haven't reviewed the thread in a while), it comes up under "Services" in the Apple menu. But I don't use that, I mapped it to Cmd-Shift-B, so I just "bounce" messages with that key combo.
