The MailFollowUp Mail Plugin adds a "Follow Up" item to the Message and contextual menus (and optional toolbar item) of Apple's Mail application that allows you to compose (and then send) a quoted version of the original message to all of the original recipients, keeping the To, Cc and Bcc addresses exactly as they appeared in the original message. Hawk Wings has a nice description of it, and Dan Frakes wrote about it in January of 2007.

Normally I would not raise a problem here and I have no desire to sound a negative note. However, since neither myself nor the developer has been able to crack this one I presume to do so now.

I am unable to persuade MailFollowup to substitute a string of my choice for the standard "Re:" prefix. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know a solution?

(When it worked properly for me, I had nothing but praise for this plug-in.)

Thanks for the timely update on a great add-on. I'm a long time user. My only criticism would be to simplifying the install. I think offering the back-up is sort of confusing (Personally I never do it) and it unnerves me that a plugin could have such powerful access to my mail database. But, once installed the software is perfect.

A great solution, overall! I find it's great for what I often need to do. I just have a few concerns:

Firstly, whenever when I flag an email in my inbox, the "Forward" icon changes into a flag (similar to that of the "flag" icon) from the standard arrow. FYI I'm using the four-icon bar in the toolbar ("Reply", "Reply All", "Follow All", "Forward").

I then changed the toolbar to show the five-icon bar ("Reply", "Reply All", "Follow All", "Follow", "Forward"). This time, whenever I flagged a message, the fourth icon in the bar (i.e. "Follow") changed from its respective arrow to that of the flag.

I'm thinking there may be an issue with the flag appearance in the fourth icons of your toolbar options.

Secondly, I'm not sure if there is a way to disable the "Follow" and "Follow All" buttons when in the "Inbox" folder (this isn't crucial) but it seems like there's a difference between this and "Reply All" when I try to reply to emails that contain multiple recipients.

Finally, just a quick question. Would something similar in nature be available on iPhone? Just wondered, as I'm quite impressed overall with it working on my new Lion MacBook Pro.

Cheers, Ian

You can edit the Info.plist within the mailbundle package. Simply take a mailbundle that is already compatible with the latest OS update (e.g. Herald), look at the array of SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs in the Info.plist and compare to the array in the incompatible MailFollowup bundle. There should be something like B3F3FC72-315D-4323-BE85-7AB76090224D in the compatible bundle's array, but not in MailFollowUp's array. Simply copy and paste, save the Info.plist file and restart Mail. Works for me, even under 10.6.7.

Invaluable mail plugin. I use it constantly and the author, Gregg, responded within hours of 10.6.4 with a compatible update.

Highly recommended. Oh, and the price is right, too. (A donation won't be refused, I understand).

Unfortunately, Mail 4.2 breaks this great little addition. Is there an update in the pipeline, I hope?

My Mail application was crashing on and off this week. I couldn't figure out why. Then I installed this version, and it crashed like crazy. I then deleted this whole plugin, and Mail stabilized.

What gives?

I won't install this again: I lost all my inbox messages (or so I thought) until I snooped around, and found most of them.

I have no idea what this person's problem is, as they have not attempted to ask/contact me. I am not aware of anyone else (of the hundreds who use it) having a problem with the plugin.

Sorry author. My apologies.
I sent you an email privately. Maybe you can help me solve this riddle.
