Updating Sparky XNM to insert email first name

Tech Support
1

Hi Everyone,

So I recently noticed that the script that automatically inserts the first name of a recipient when responding to an email doesn’t work. The latest version shared by David used to insert the first name and corrected the issue with the old script that sometimes resulted in pasting the last name. I don’t get any names using the latest version anymore. I’m not sure what the issue is.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Mail"
        tell text field "To:" of window 1
            if UI element 1 exists then
                set theToRecipient to (value of UI element 1)
                if ((count words of theToRecipient) is greater than 0) and (theToRecipient does not contain ",") then
                    return word 1 of theToRecipient
                else if ((count words of theToRecipient) is greater than 0) and (theToRecipient contains ",") then
                    return word 2 of theToRecipient
                end if
            end if
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
