¬ Jim Million uunet!wiltel!jmillion October 1992 RemoteCompose.app (v1.0) This example demonstrates how to remotely open and manage 'Compose' windows in Mail.app, using the custom Speaker subclass MailSpeaker. ¬ Important Files... ¬ RemoteComposeController.[hm] contains one method (suggestion: ) showing how an instance of MailSpeaker may be used. ¬ MailSpeaker.[hm] is a custom Speaker subclass that supports remote messages implemented in Mail.apps custom Listener subclass MailListener. ¬ Mail.msg is the file passed to the Unix 'msgwrap' utility. msgwrap in turn, generates MailSpeaker.[hm] and MailListener.[hm] (not used). Notes... ¬ Using Speaker/Listener to accomplish IP communications seems archaic in a NeXTstep 3.0 (RemoteObject) world. I have been unable to find any documentation listing objects publicly 'vended' by NeXT apps (if there are any). ¬ It is possible to include file attachments in the document by using NXPerformService() with "Mail/Document" as the service. ¬ Put it on a palette (this has been done and will be submitted). ¬
