  • Thread-topic: Send selected messages as attachments in Mail.app

Hi folks!

Our mail server has two "spam" and "ham" training email addresses to which
mail can be sent as attachments, but that is the only way the training will
work -- the entire source of the message must be included as an attached
text file to the message (the body/subject/etc of the message itself is
ignored). This is great for our Entourage users, as they can simply select
multiple messages and use the "Forward as Attachment" option. Our Mail.app
users are less fortunate, however; try as I might, I cannot seem to come up
with an automated way to forward selected messages as attachments in Apple
Mail.

My attempts in Automator would come close but were ultimately fruitless. I
imagine that this should be possible via AppleScript, but thus far I have
been unsuccessful in my attempts. Might anyone out there have any
suggestions?

Other bits:

* The destination email address is fixed.
* It would be nice to be able to select multiple messages, right click on
  the selection, and choose "Forward as Attachment." A keyboard shortcut
  would do the trick as well.

Any pointers or code snippets would be most sincerely appreciated. Thank
you! :)

Best,

Justin
