Insane Message Maker

December 9, 2007

Insanely Great Tees have release a great little app entitled “Message Maker” What is it? An icon that you stick in your dock. When you click it, a new mail message opens. Pretty simple, right? Exactly. Yet, it’s awfully handy. So we’ve posted it here for you to download.

Just click the link, open the .zip file and the file inside “Create New Message” will do just that when you open it. You can stick it in your dock (just drag it onto the right side) and you’re good to go.How does it work? Applescript? Automator? A custom application? All those are too complicated and would use too many resources.

This is the simplest solution — it’s just a hyperlink in a file. It uses the “Mailto:” prefix, your mac is smart enough to open in mail. Now, here’s a cool trick — lets say you send out a lot of emails to one person. You could create a custom “Create New Message” that opens a new message with her address in it. It’s easy — open a text editor and drag the text mailto:SampleEmail@Address.com onto your desktop. This will create a file that you can double click to open a new message.
