Hello,
The following script will take every selected messages and attach
them to a new mail message, you can of course replace the use of
'send mail' (this verb comes with the XMail osax, http://lestang.org/
osax/XMail) by a piece of script that will create a mail message in
Mail and then add attachments to it but XMail makes things more
compact :p
set theList to get selected messages of first message viewer
set theFileList to {}
repeat with x in theList
set myFile to (POSIX file (do shell script "mktemp -t mail"))
set myFileFp to open for access myFile with write permission
write (get source of x) to myFileFp
close access myFileFp
set end of theFileList to myFile
end repeat
send mail to "email@hidden" from "email@hidden" subject "my test"
body "my message" attachments theFileList SMTP server "localhost"

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
