Scripting Mail


  • Subject: Scripting Mail
  • From: Andersen Studley <email@hidden>

Let me begin by saying I couldn't even perform a search on Apple's archives for the list, so if there is another one somewhere I'd appreciate a pointer to it.

I am utterly and embarrassingly new to applescript, so please bear with me :)

What I am trying to do is have all emails with a certain subject handled as appropriate, and end up adding the content to the end of the file. In actuality, it is sort of a comment system for a weblog.
So, say, I get an email ...

Subject : <some flag to indicate it is a comment> <something to indicate which topic>

Body: <contributor's name>
<comment>

The <some flag to indicate it is a comment> is easy enough by creating a rule in mail

However, whenever I try and do seemingly *anything* with the message itself via applescript, (even a test script attempting to just mark the messages as read) I get very arcane error messages that don't even begin to describe the problem.

Are there any examples I've missed that do (something close to) any part of this?

I've been looking at the provided applescript examples, but none of them seem to do anything with individual incoming messages. The closest I found was Count Messages.

If there is a way to get more informative error messages please inform me.

Thank You in advance for any help, insights, or pointers in the right direction.
