Function: Converts the selected images to jpg, resizes to the user-input pixel dimensions and attached to a new Mail message.
Author: Automator World
Notes: Not only is this handy for those who don’t use iPhoto, but it’s also good for emailing work documents, such as exported PDFs, that you don’t want a client to have a hi-res version of. It works best as a Contextual Menu Plug-in; copy into ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/. It also works well as an Application for drag-and-drop use.
this is g@y

I have been trying to use Automator to send group emails, but the send email functionality doesn’t appear to work. James, the discussion (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@91.ZoJAa1S0ZvD.2@.68ae5c63) to which you refer above is gone. Do I infer that “send email” has never worked? I’m amazed at how difficult it is to find information about automator, especially WRT group emails.
For what it’s worth, here’s my workflow: 1. find groups in address book 2. filter groups in address book 3. group mailer 4. new mail message (has no addressees, as these are supposed to input from #3) 5. send outgoing messages
I’ve tried without #4, with the open outgoing message in Mail, but that doesn’t work. I did succeed once in using the birthday mailer with actions #1 and #2 above, but the emails I want to send are business.
TIA for any insights- Chris

My bad, 1.0.1 is the latest version. I don’t know why you’re having this problem still, it should have been fixed…

I’m running 10.4.2. My Automator is still at version 1.0.1, not 1.1. And I just checked Software Update.

That bug was corrected in Automator 1.1 that installs with OS X 10.4.2 ..if it’s not working still, report to Apple!
