Re: mail.app save all attachments

It looks like this kind of functionality isn't built into Mail.app's AppleScript dictionary. There is an attachment class but it looks like it is just for text attachments and for creating messages.

So you would probably need to get the raw source for the message and parse out the MIME components, then figure out how to decode those components (usually base64 encoded) and save them. That's a real pain in the arse, but it can be done.

Unless someone sees something that I missed, it looks like there is no easy answer to this.

good day!

i'm looking for a proper script that can be attached to a rule in mail.app that, on rule match, saves all the attachments of the mail to a specified folder and then deletes the mail.

i haven't really found any useful info via google/apple.com on that.

any hints/suggestions/solutions would be appreciated,
thanks a lot,
