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:

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?
