Re: mail.app save all attachments

Nice one! A very good idea to have Stuffit Expander do the dirty work, it handles this nicely.

The only hiccup I saw was that resource forks get sent base64 encoded as a separate attachment from Mail.app unless you send the attachment as "Windows Friendly". When Stuffit Expander decodes an attachment sent in this manner you end up with 2 files, one named "foo.bar" and the other named "foo.1.bar". The first file is a kind of mangled resource fork and the second is the data fork.

I looked for a simple way to re-merge the two forks and found none. I tried directly copying the contents of first file to the resource fork of the second (it is located at "filename/..namedfork/rsrc") and that didn't seem to work correctly. Anyone else have any idea of how to re-merge a data fork and a resource fork in this kind of situation?

The following script works - both when run as well as when triggered from a rule in Mail (requires 10.2.3 or higher, including 10.3.x). Requires StuffIt Expander (for decoding the MIME parts)

And, of course, there will be some spurious return characters added by the mailer...
