Mail Images
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.

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!

Known bug with workaround. My Send Mail now works! From the Apple discussion boards:
This is a documented bug. The work around for now is to set the “Send Outgoing Email” Action to Ignore Results from Previous Action under the Mail Messages disclosure triangle.
It is discussed in more detail here: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@91.ZoJAa1S0ZvD.2@.68ae5c63
