Re: Adding a message to a mailbox in Mail

Oh, BTW, will mail.app rules ever have the ability to add to the address book, add to groups, and/or remove from address book and/or groups?

Are you talking about a rule that, for example, looks for a message with a given subject and adds the sender/recipient to the address book? If so, I've never heard that requested before (honestly!).

Yes, four rules actually, one that adds it to the address book in general, one that adds it to a specified address group (and to the book too, if it has to be in the book to be in a group), and corresponding ones to remove it from the book and/or group.

Claris emailer 2.0v3 has had them since 1997 (earlier versions may have had it too; I don't recall). This allows the email program to behave as a mini mailing list server.

Here's an example (in pseudocode)

If "to" is "email@hidden" and
if "from" is not in address group "diary list" and
if "subject" contains "subscribe" then
add "from" to address group "diary list"

This would probably be best handled by a rule that triggers a script action,

Building it into the rules would make it easier on the users.

something that we are planning for the future.

Great; having a rule trigger a script action is something else I wanted to ask for.
