Mojave support

[nicbedford]

5.4 beta is not working on macOS 10.14 Mojave beta 1

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford Thank you for the information. I will work on it.

By any chance if you have captured error info, could you post it here?

[nicbedford]

I'm not sure what error info you are after?

Install script appears to run correctly:

RWH:: Starting installation...
RWH:: Mail Plugin - ReplyWithHeader
RWH:: Mac OS X version: 10.14
RWH:: Mail.app 12.0 [Build 3445.100.9.7]

=========================================================
  RWH Plugin successfully installed,  restart Mail.app   
=========================================================

But plugin is not loaded or shown in preferences when Mail.app is restarted, no error is displayed.

[jeevatkm]

Typically logs could be viewed via console.app and search option exists in that app.

I will start to setup Mojave at my end then investigate it, thanks.

[nicbedford]

I did check Console.app and searched for ReplyWithHeader, it showed nothing

[jeevatkm]

Thank you @nicbedford. I missed to mention details of enabling debug. Could you please try one more time after this setting on terminal app?

Enable debug log:

defaults write com.apple.mail MHDebugLog -bool true

Disable debug log:

defaults write com.apple.mail MHDebugLog -bool false

PS: If nothings turns up, that is fine. Thank you for your effort. I will take care once my environment is ready.

[jeevatkm]

My subscription is expired. I'm not planning to renew for while. It seems I will have to wait for public beta release date 🤔.

[jeevatkm]

Mojave new security model completely hindering development of plugin and plenty of API changes happen :(

[jeevatkm]

Good news, found the issues on Mojave 😄

Its mainly related to explicit permission model introduced by Apple in Mojave OS. I will fix (or create a document how to install it) and make a release.

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford I need help in testing the v5.4 beta version of plugin.

Could please install v5.4-beta on Mojave OS using following steps and share your feedback?

• Extract the ReplyWithHeader-v5.4-beta zip archive
• Open Terminal.app and go to extracted RWH directory
• Run sudo ./Install-or-Upgrade-or-Reenable.command
• Now open Mail.app
• Go to Mail -> Preferences -> General Tab -> click button Manage Plug-ins -> enable RWH -> click Apply and Restart Mail
• Bingo!

Now RWH should be working.

Please let me know.

[nicbedford]

I can see RWH in the Mail-> Preferences -> General Tab -> Manage Plug-ins. But after I enable it and restart it loads the plugin and then pops up a dialog saying not compatible with Mail v12 and then immediately unloads.

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford Thank you. I believe its related to plugin UUID part. I will make a respective change and get back to you.

BTW, could you please share the output of sudo ./Install-or-Upgrade-or-Reenable.command?

@markcarroll Thanks for the log and error info.

Technically I have made v6.0-beta work with Mojave OS (last weekend). However I have not yet found a best way sort out permission issue and RWH preference UI cut (outstanding issue).

Mojave OS really giving me hard time 😢

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford @mshahat @markcarroll I have prepared RWH v6.0-beta http://bit.ly/2E61TID

Archive include install instructions Install-Instructions-Mojave-OS-and-Above.txt. Could you please try and let me know if any thing broken?

FYI, RWH preferences moved to Mail.app menu bar under RWH menu.

---

After I collect the good no. of user feedbacks then I will do clean up and final changes for v6.0 release next week.

[Daskarzine]

Thanks Jeeva - working for me!! Yay!

[jeevatkm]

@Daskarzine Thanks for your confirmation. Give it a try few days, please do let me know if any issues. I will fix it in v6.0 release.

[plusmore57]

Works great for me. Thanks for putting in the hard work.

[nicbedford]

I follow all steps and I still get Incompatible Plug-ins Disabled dialog as shown above :(

[zmbarry]

Works for me too. I can not see the RWH preferences pane but replying to email inserts the Outlook-style header. Thank you!

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford

Incompatible Plug-ins Disabled dialog

If you're getting dialog, it means you're facing an permission issue or UUID is not getting added to RWH plist.

Could you delete existing RWH plugin from ~/Library/Mail/Bundles manually (if any)? Then apply the steps from Install-Instructions-Mojave-OS-and-Above.txt.

I'm expecting v6.0-beta should work with Mojave OS. I may be expecting some other hiccups since a lot of internal improvements has been done in v6.0-beta.

[jeevatkm]

@zmbarry RHW preferences moved to main menu. You should be seeing RWH menu in the menu bar.

[nicbedford]

I have it working now. I was running the Install-or-Upgrade-or-Reenable.command from terminal (I had definitely restarted after adding FullDiskAccess permission).

I now just double clicked Install-or-Upgrade-or-Reenable.command instead and it worked.

I don't understand, but I'm happy

[jeevatkm]

@nicbedford Glad to hear, its working for you. Keep me posted if you notice any issues.

[BonnEconLab]

The v6 beta works for me, too (on macOS Mojave, Mail v12.0; also on macOS High Sierra, Mail v11.5). A great many thanks for this helpful plug-in!

[mttransplant]

The v6 beta seems to be working for me as well. Thank you!

[gcabanac]

The v6.0-beta works like a charm on macOS Mojave, Mail v12.0. Thanks!

[in4philo]

It works like a charm ! Thanks a lot Jeeva !!

[markcarroll]

Install worked out fine once I actually followed the instructions. ;)

There is a typo on the preferences pane: "Include header bule line" https://github.com/jeevatkm/ReplyWithHeader/commit/181f41e29620874901f904f078cdb25bc2a60a62#r30974313

[jeevatkm]

@markcarroll Oops! I will correct it. Yesterday I added that new option.

[jeevatkm]

I have released RWH v6.0 just now 😄

[AlainCallebaut]

On MacOS Mojave 10.14.1, using ReplyWithHeader v6-2.0: Incompatible Plug-ins Disabled Contact the makers for versions that are compatible with Mail 12.1

[jeevatkm]

@AlainCallebaut On every macOS release Mail.app gets a new UUID. All you have to do is. Just reinstall RWH plugin, it will work.

[AlainCallebaut]

I did reinstall it. Even uninstalled and installed again. It gives me the same error message...

@AlainCallebaut Its strange I'm using 10.14.1 too with RWH plugin on it. It's doing good.

So you have followed the steps from Install-Instructions-Mojave-OS-and-Above.txt and still you're getting an error?

[AlainCallebaut]

Yes I did. Finally I found the cause of the problem, and a work around. It seems that the security of Mojave is completely screwed. Your script performs a 'defaults write' to add the UUID. However, due to security restrictions, the plist is not updated. When editing the plist manually (with XCode, after assigning XCode FullDiskAccess) and adding that key and value, it works as expected. I added /usr/bin/defaults to the FullDiskAccess but that didn't let your script update the plist. So there remains a serious problem to perform such installation through a script...

[jeevatkm]

@AlainCallebaut Thanks for the update.

Did you provide Terminal.app (or iterm.app whichever you're using) FullDiskAccess and still UUID is not updated in the plist? If yes I have to investigate this part of issue, please confirm.

Basically installer adds UUID in to RWH plist before it installs a plugin into ~/Library/Mail/Bundles.

[AlainCallebaut]

Yes I did. I used the Terminal.app. Here is a screenshot of the Security settings (don't know if it will show up).

[jeevatkm]

@AlainCallebaut Thank you for your confirmation. I will investigate this issue.

[indirection]

Thank you.
