<p dir="auto">Good morning!</p>
<p dir="auto">I see in the manual (<a href="http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences">http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences</a>) that I can change the Reply String generated by MailMate</p>
<pre><code>defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString -string 'On %e %b %Y, at %k:%M, ${from.name:${from.address}} wrote:'
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">However, I can never make this work. I copy that line directly, paste it into the console and all executes fine. I can even "read" it back, and all is good.</p>
<pre><code>% defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString -string 'On %e %b %Y, at %k:%M, my good friend ${from.name:${from.address}} wrote:'
% defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString
On %e %b %Y, at %k:%M, my good friend ${from.name:${from.address}} wrote:
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Notice I changed it to something silly just to see it work for now, my company wants me to have a particular reply style that I am hoping I can mimic using this method.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, I then load MailMate, hit reply and it adds the line:</p>

<p dir="auto">i.e. it does not include "my good friend"</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, once I start mail mate, I execute:</p>
<pre><code>% defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">and defaults returns to me an error:</p>
<pre><code>2014-09-15 09:54:52.734 defaults[2365:507]
The domain/default pair of (/Volumes/My HD/Users/jeremy/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate, MmReplyWroteString) does not exist
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Any thoughts on how I can make this work?</p>
