[MlMt] Quote string on Reply messages

[Jeremy Cowgar]

Good morning!

I see in the manual (http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences) 
that I can change the Reply String generated by MailMate

     defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString -string 'On 
%e %b %Y, at %k:%M, ${from.name:${from.address}} wrote:'

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.

     % 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:

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.

Anyway, I then load MailMate, hit reply and it adds the line:

     On 15 Sep 2014, at 9:45, John Doe wrote:

i.e. it does not include "my good friend"

Now, once I start mail mate, I execute:

     % defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmReplyWroteString

and defaults returns to me an error:

     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

Any thoughts on how I can make this work?
