I hope someone can help with this one. i must be missing something. What I would lke to do is to copy the subject from an email that I have selected and then use this to go and run a Filemaker script with this clipboard informatin. I have got it working if I set a rule up to run the script like this:
using terms from application “Mail”
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule quotefinder
tell application “Mail”
activate
repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
set theContent to subject of eachMessage
set the clipboard to theContent as text
tell application “FileMaker Pro”
do something
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
The problem comes in that I don’t want to have a rule set up as it would interrupt what I was doing and would like to just run the script from the Mail Applescript menu so thaty I can run it when i choose. However because the script has the line:
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule quotefinder
it doesn’t do anything if I try to run it manually from this menu. I have tried removing this line and the associated
end perform mail action with messages
line but this doesn’t seem to help as theMessages is no longer defined.
I’m sure it must be something simple way to fix this but I just can’t quite get it. Any ideas?
Thanks
