seems like this hack only works on iPhoto version 4. have you been able to make it work on version 5 at all? i would love to be able to use PowerMail with iPhoto, but lost that possibility once i upgraded to iPhoto 5 and the improvements on v5 are worth keeping.
i was excited to find your webpage, hoping you had an updated version.
thanks for any tips!

Hi Angel.
I don’t know. I’ll ask the developer and see what he says….

Hi,
I’m the developer. Unfortunately I hadn’t had the time/motivation to update the patch. There is almost no interest in it now that iPhoto supports the most common mail apps out of the box.
But you can modify iPhoto 5 yourself. Open the iPhoto package, browse to Contents/Resources/ and find the ClientAppSignatures.plist. Open it (make a backup first) and add these lines just before the
</dict>tag:<key>Claris Emailer</key><string>MMan</string>
<key>GyazMail</key>
<string>GYML</string>

<string>MSNM</string>
<key>PowerMail</key>

<key>QuickMail Pro</key>

Download my patch for iPhoto 4 and open its package. Dig inside and you will find an AppleScript and a TIFF file for each of the mail clients. Take the two files for your preferred client and drop them in iPhoto’s Contents/Resources/Script folder.
That should do the trick. Basically that’s what the patch does.

Thanks. That’s great.
My copy of iPhoto 5 only shows support for Mail, Eudroa, Entourage and AOL. Am I missing something?
I’ll blog that up as its own entry for greater visiblility if you don’t mind.

I have the same issue as tim, when I open the ClientAppSignatures.plist, the name of the window that pops up is actually ClientAppSignatures.ooutline. Also, there aren’t any tags on the page. The page looks like this:
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Mail emal
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ America Online AOp3
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Microsoft Entourage OPIM
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ AOL AOp3
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Eudora CSOm
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ iDVD iDVD

Clare, what app are you using to open the ClientAppSignatures.plist file with?
OmniOutliner? Don’t do that.
You need to use a text editor like BBEdit, TextEdit or TextWrangler. You should find TextEdit on your Mac in your Applications folder.
If that doesn’t fix it, drop me an email - tim@hawkwings.net
