create mail with script bridge

Question

I am trying to create a new email using the cocoa scripting bridge,but can not seem to get it to work.I have so far:

MailApplication *mail = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.Mail"];
MailOutgoingMessage *emailMessage = [[[[mail classForScriptingClass:@"outgoing message"]     alloc] initWithProperties:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [saveFileName substringToIndex:[saveFileName length]-4], @"subject", @"something about app.", @"content", nil]] autorelease];
// add the object to the mail app 
[[mail outgoingMessages] addObject: emailMessage];
emailMessage.visible = YES;

if ( [FileFullName length] > 0 ) {

    MailAttachment *theAttachment = 
    [[[mail classForScriptingClass:@"attachment"] alloc]
     initWithProperties:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                         FileFullName, @"fileName",nil]];
    // add it to the list of attachments 
    [[emailMessage.content attachments] addObject: theAttachment];
    [theAttachment release];
}

When I try and set the visible property,I got the error message:

-[SBProxyByClass setVisible:]: object has not been added to a container yet; selector not recognized [self = 0x7fd4fae3cc90]

This issue appeared when I added the sandbox for app. Can anyone point the correct direction?

If your code can work before you enable the sandbox, then you should do this first before you send the mail. Add the follow code to your Entitlements.plist.

    <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key>
    <array>
    <string>com.apple.mail</string>
    </array>
