I'm an automator beginner. I want to create a service that takes highlighted text, paste that text into the subject line of an email message and send it.
Everything works, except I cannot get the text that is being passed into the service to paste into the subject line.
1. the text comes in via the "Service receives selected "text" in "any application from the first step of the service.
2 The second automator action is "new mail message"...but the action appends the text received to the body, not the subject (per the "description" of the action)
3. Then I have the "Send outgoing messages" action which works fine.
I checked the variables, but could not find any that contain the passed-in text....If I could find that, I could drop it into the subject field and all would be well.
