Hi,
Using Mail app, I am trying to create an Applescript rule that do
modify incoming mail subject line. (I want to remove some fixed input
in mailing added by a mail manager.)
I have written the following applescript, save in a file and added as
a rule. It does not work (not any symptom of activity). As I am new
to applescript, I am looking for help to make it work.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
repeat with each in theMessages
set subject to subject of each
set text item delimiters to "[Caml-list] "
set answer to ""
repeat with part in text items of subject
set answer to answer & part
end repeat
set subject of each to (answer)
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
Note:
1. If it is possible to plug a Unix filter in incoming mail's pipe,
that will also work for me!
2. Having an honest Unix background, I would be very pleased to
recycle my comptentences with MAC OS X software. My first impressions
with MAC OS X is that the Unix side (shell + pipes) and the Apple
side (app + applescript) that do coexist in MAC OS X are very alien
one to the other. Are there some bridges between these two worlds or
are my first impressions somewhat right?
Thanks for your attention and for the help you could provide,
cheers,
Michie
