I have two scripts that “I found” each that work perfectly. One chooses the mail id I want Apple mail to send from and the other will sign with the signature I choose. I’d like to combine these so they both act on one email and I’ve tried everything but I’m just no scripter. I need help and I’ve googled this every which way I can think of but can’t come up with the answer. The are:

tell application “Mail” to make new outgoing message with properties {sender:”ksdawson@icloud.com“, visible:true}

and

tell application “Mail” activate set theMsg to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true} set message signature of theMsg to signature “Kerry Dawson” end tell

Nothing to see here gentlemen…carry on!

Is there any reason why you indented after the line “tell application ‘TextEdit'” in the last AppleScriptor was that done purely for readability?
