Hi all,
I am trying to work around a filtering limitation in mail using AppleScript. I will spare you the gory details, and just say that I want to make a rule that will look at the ‘read status’ of a message and stop evaluating subsequent rules for all unread messages (I do a good bit of manual filtering, and I need to be able to run a batch of rules only on messages that have been read). Anyway, Mail’s rules don’t allow you to use ‘read status’ as a criterion for filtering.
In poking around in the AppleScript dictionary, it looks like both ‘read status’ and ‘stop evaluating rules’ are there, so it seems that what I want to do should be scriptable. If I can make the script work, I can simply create a rule that applies it to every message. But I can’t make it work. I can’t imagine that it would take more than a few lines of code. Can anyone help? Please? Thanks in advance!
