Hi, I’ve been dragging and dropping, renaming emails from mail into various project folders in my computer in order to keep project communication together with the project files and documents. Am looking at finding or having a go at writing an automated script that when the email is sent, prompts you for a finder folder location to save the email in, then creates a folder with a renamed copy of the email based on sent date, subject and its attachments. I presume this is possible with scripting? Sorry I haven’t used scripting on a mac and am keen to learn and am after confirmation that it is possible, otherwise I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing. Cheers Jeff
Mail.app’s AppleScript execution event will cause when message receiving.
So, when you send a message to your address in CC or BCC, you can use the rule action to execute AppleScript.
OK?
And you can get message location (file path), sent date, subject and attachments.
It is not so difficult script.
And I wrote an ebook about Mail.app scripting. I hope this is helpful.
Great thank you for the reply Piyomaru, it is good to know and I will check it out. Regards Jeff
