A great plugin, been using it for years.

New laptop, and trying to get the plugin to fly.

Tried the Plugin Fix and pInfo mods per the FAQ, no joy. But I will keep reading.

I looked in the system log and this is the only thing that I could see.

Doesn't seem that helpful - wish there was more there.

To install

Created ~/Library/Mail/Bundles cd ~/Library/Mail/Bundles unzip ~/Downloads/QuoteFix-v2.8.0-alpha.6.zip

Restarted Mail, cannot see the Icon in Preferences.

It should work on 10.12.5.

Did you also enable plug-in support for Mail? Documented here: https://github.com/robertklep/quotefixformac#installation (first step)

Thanks for getting back to me:

I ran these requests as me:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -string 3

I got your reply and realized that on the new machine I am not admin (or root)

sudo bash
defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -string 3

Plugin now shows up.

Bottom posting in back! Sanity restored.

Sent a tiny pull request. Might help. Thanks for the quick reply and a good plugin.

Going to close this issue since running the command as root did the trick,

robertklep commented 7 years ago

That's unexpected, as those settings should end up in your local (user) ~/Library/ (otherwise, you'd use defaults write -g ..., for which you probably do require root privs). I'm pretty sure that I never used sudo to get it working.

I'll look into it a bit more before accepting your PR :)

EDIT: perhaps the correct instructions nowadays are different. I found these:

$ defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist EnableBundles -bool true
$ defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist BundleCompatibilityVersion 4

This makes more sense than having to use root privs.

tizatron commented 7 years ago

yes - that does make more sense and the plugin should be installable without root creds - good point.
