Insert Airmail receiver's name

Yes, but I hate the AirMail 3 scripting model. It makes very hard something that is very easy with every other email app I know.

So, AFTER you reply to the inbound email (your customer's email), run this script to get the sender's name:

tell application "System Events"
  tell application process "Airmail 3"  -- "Airmail Beta" in my case
    tell window 1
      tell scroll area 1
        tell text field 1
          set toRecipStr to (its value of item 1 of static text)
        end tell
        
      end tell
    end tell
  end tell
end tell

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" <", ">"}

set oToRecip to text items of toRecipStr
tell oToRecip
  set toNameStr to item 1
  set toAddressStr to item 2
end tell

return toNameStr

Now, let's put that in nice KM Macro.

Start by selecting the inbound email you want to reply to.
