Hi all, I too have a similar issue since El Capitan update. I've been successfully attaching a zip file to an email and automatically sending it with a script that looks the same as the one in this thread, but since El Capitan it sends the email with no attachment. Code worked fine before, and nothing's changed.

Does anyone have a workaround for this yet?

There are two problems here. One is that the script executes successfully but doesn't include the attachment and one where you get an error executing the script. In either case, it is important to try running the script outside of Hazel. Also, leocrespo, I sent you a response with some questions which you have not answered. I cannot help you with your problem if you don't provide the necessary feedback.

Hi there!

I just noticed that since upgrading to El Capitan, attachments are not included in email generated by Hazel. Looking at this discussion thread, I assume it is a bug on either Apple/El Capitan side or the Noodlesoft side. Anyway, is this being looked at and/or fixed?

If that would help, I am happy to provide additional info.

Again, try the script outside of Hazel. Chances are very high it is Apple Mail that has the problem as Hazel doesn't how the script runs in this case. If Hazel doesn't report an error, then as far as it's concerned, the script ran correctly.

Ok, no one has sent me any reports on whether this script works outside of Hazel so I did my own test. The same behavior (no attachment) can be seen when running the script without Hazel being involved at all. Therefore, the issue is with Apple Mail. They either changed the AppleScript dictionary or just plain broke the attachment functionality as it pertains to AppleScript. I suggest submitting a bug with Apple for this.

Hi there thank you for looking into this, I really would like this functionality back, Is there any third party mail apps that would work with this script?

Might we suggest it is YOU, the one who makes the software, responsible for trying to figure out what Apple did with El Capitan? That's why we pay for the license right? What good are we going to do by researching this problem? We don't know what we don't know. You're the developer who is taking our money, it should be you who does this research to find out how you can make YOUR product better and provide support not the users.

If they did change the library, you should find out. If it's broken, you should find out. This should be a top priority as many are moving to El Capitan. Seems tag support is also broken in El Capitan.

It is broken by Apple. Nothing I can do will change that. Plus, this is a third party script accessing someone else's app. The script does not work, Hazel or no Hazel. I'm not sure what you are expecting me to do at this point.

As for tags being broken, this is the first I'm hearing about it. If you have details, please post them in a new thread.

I haven't heard of any changes on this front. If you are suffering from this, again, please contact Apple. The more people that do that, the more likely they will take the bug seriously and fix it.

I tested using Airmail 2. Same behavior. How do I contact Apple and what do I say to them?

In that case, contact the authors of Air Mail. Note also that for the most part, AppleScripts do not transfer from one program to another. Unless Air Mail made its AppleScript dictionary identical to Mail's, you can't just take a script meant to drive Mail and have it work with Air Mail.

I revised the script to use Airmail instead of Mail. The email opened in Airmail just as the old one did in Mail. No attachment. It's not an Airmail issue; it's an apple script issue.

Again, scripts aren't necessarily transferrable like that. The app itself has to implement the AppleScript dictionary. Unless AirMail specifically tried to emulate Apple Mail's AppleScript dictionary, a script written for Apple Mail shouldn't necessarily work with AirMail. You should in the very least contact their support to make sure what you are doing is correct using their AppleScript support.

Sorry, I'm unclear. I don't want to use AirMail. I use Mail. I just tested it w/Airmail to see if it would work. It did the exact same thing as Mail, which tells me the issue is with El Cap.
