hi all -
this one's probably pretty simple, and i even had it working, until i
cleaned up my code...
what i'd like to do is allow the user to select a message or a group of
messages from within mail.app, then by running my handy-dandy script,
redirect them all to a given email address. the idea is to train our
spam filters based on messages we collect - ones that have made it
through the filters - but the thought of teaching our users about
redirecting makes me a little woozy.
here's my code so far:
tell application "Mail"
set theList to selection
repeat with theMsg in theList
set theRedirect to redirect theMsg with opening window --this will be
'without opening window'
tell theRedirect to make new to recipient with properties
{address:"email@hidden"} -- [1]
--send theRedirect
end repeat
end tell
[1] this is the problematic part: the subject lines are being altered
to include "(Modified By John DeYoung)" or whoever sends them at their
ends. of course, this only happens in mail.app - a similar script for
entourage doesn't muck with anything. particularly galling is the fact
that i'd had it all working and deleted the line that went here
originally (i was cleaning up, and apparently drove too fast...sigh).
anyway, if anyone has an alternate way of setting the to recipient of a
given message, my now-mushy gray matter will be very grateful.
thanks in advance,
-john.
