Re: Searching a Mail message

I'm after getting the content of a Mail message and want to search the content for an email address (email@hidden). Are there any helper methods in AppleScript in which to do this. I already tried parsing the message content but that didnt seem to work.

Here's a starter script. It'll only grab the first address from a paragraph. It works on my setup but not everyone's got Mail setup the same:

on PluckEmailAddresses()
tell application "Mail" to tell item 1 of (get selection)
set paras to every paragraph of (source as text)
set res to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of paras
set p to item i of paras
if (p contains "mailto:" and p contains "<a href=""Apple-style-span" color="#0D407F">then
set s to offset of "mailto:" in p
set t to (characters s thru -1 of p) as text
set e to (offset of ">" in t) - 3
set end of res to (characters s thru (s + e) of p) as text
end if
end repeat
res
end tell
end PluckEmailAddresses
PluckEmailAddresses()
