[QUOTE="Poppa Bear, post: 963392, member: 136014"] I suspect the issue is that the original poster (like me) wants to be able to select, on a per notification basis, the Mail.app account from which a selected iCal notification is sent for a selected iCal event. That is, that particular account selection should not automatically apply to all unselected iCal e-mail notifications. If so, there currently does not appear to be a way to do this under OS X 10.5.8. Anyone know if 10.6 can properly handle it? It seems the following AppleScript can be used so solve the issue. Simply edit the script as needed to suit the particular notification, save the script under a unique name, and then tell the notification to run that AppleScript. -------------------------- tell application "Mail" tell front message viewer -- if have multiple Inboxes, replace "Family" with the desired Inbox set themailbox to mailbox "Family" as list set selected mailboxes to themailbox end tell set theMessage to make new outgoing message tell theMessage -- replace "username@domainname.extension" with the desired sender e-mail address set sender to "Notification <username@domainname.extension>" -- replace "Plan Weekend" with the desired subject line set the subject to "Plan Weekend" -- replace "Time to plan the weekend." with the desired message content set the content to "Time to plan the weekend." -- replace "username@domainname.extension" with the desired recipient's e-mail address make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"username@domainname.extension"} -- turn off the following line to create and send the e-mail in the background set visible to true end tell -- turn off the following line when testing send theMessage end tell [/QUOTE]
