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).
