Boy am I glad that I don't rely on Mail to work with attachments - Entourage
is a whole lot easier for this sort of thing.
Here's an alternative method:
activate application "Mail"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
perform action "AXPress" of menu item "Save Attachments" of menu 1
of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
set myFlag to false
repeat until myFlag is true
if exists sheet 1 of window 1 then
perform action "AXPress" of button "Save" of sheet 1 of
window 1
set myFlag to true
else
delay 1
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
Might be of use to those who don't mind resorting to the UI.
I find it depressing that you can force Mail to do what you want by calling
obj-c methods using F-Script (saveAllAttachments:)- but the AS dictionary is
sadly lacking. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Automator could do this :(
We all know where to post bug reports now, but where is the official channel
for *feature requests*?
