I currently use OS X Mail for all my e-mail, but recently got a
SideKick which I'd like to use to receive e-mail on when I'm out of the
office. I get a great deal of spam which OS X Mail seems to do a pretty
good job of filtering, so I'm trying to figure out an effective way of
getting OS X Mail to foward legit messages to my SideKick and I think
it will require AppleScript which I'm pretty green on.
Currently, I have a rule setup in OS X Mail to redirect all mail where
the 'Sender is in my Address Book' OR the 'Sender is in my Previous
Recipients' to my SideKick's e-mail address. This works pretty well in
just sending me legit mail, except some messages appear on my SideKick
as a mime-attachment, which it's unable to read. A workaround for
cleansing these messages, so the SideKick can read them, is selecting
the message, going to VIEW > MESSAGE > PLAIN TEXT ALTERNATIVE and then
redirecting the message to the SideKick.
I'm wondering if it's possible to write an AppleScript with which I
could replace the current rule's action of redirecting the message to
my SideKick address, so it would first covert the e-mail to plain text
alternative before redirecting. Obviously, many e-mails won't have a
plain text alternative (this option is ghosted in the MESSAGE submenu
for these messages), so the script would need to be able to handle that
twist as well.
Is this possible and can anyone show me how to do it?
Thanks!
