Hi, having trouble figuring this out, I’m new to Applescript.
I want to have one Applescript that I can pick from Entourage’s script menu that will file a selected message. I know I can create individual rules to move individual messages, but I wanted to have one menu choice that would take care of any message that was selected.
I started with Paul Berkowitz’s very cool “Set Sent Message Category” script but made no progress. I figured it can file it by Category or by From address. I would hard-code the folder names into the script. Here is a slightly modified version of the meat of Paul Berkowitz’s script:
set theContact to item 1 of theContacts
set theCategory to category of theContact
if theCategory ? {} then
set category of theMsg to theCategory
--these are the 3 lines I added:
if theCategory is "Family/Friends" then
move theMsg to folder "J-Family/Friends"
end if
exit repeat -- just category of first recipient to have a non-empty category
end if
To me, it looks like it should work (but it doesn’t do anything except change the category of the message).
So my basic questions are:
- how do I get it to match the category? by id? by name? and is that the right syntax?
- how do I get it to move a message?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
