Thanks to all the comments I got onlist and offlist I made a huge lot of progress.
Now I have a little problem saving attachments to mails that only reveal attachments when the View > Message > option is set to whatever alternative is not "text" (it is not explicit in the menu options).
The mailbox listing shows that the mail has a number of attachments but when the mail opens in the default view, I get only a plain text view of its contents and nothing attached.
When I change the view option, then I get the attachments.
For most mails, I'd automatically see the attachments in the mail it is default view.
In any case, the script I wrote recognizes attachments when they are displayed in default view but not when they are displayed after I changed the view. I guess it comes from my asking the script to save attachments from the selected mail and not from the displayed/open mail...
Here is the relevant (trivial) part of my script:
tell application "Mail"
set job to item 1 of (get selection)
set job_info to (get source of job)
set job_name to ((get subject of job as text) & ".eml")
set job_path to open for access file ((project_folders as text) & "informations:" & job_name) with write permission
write job_info to job_path
close access job_path
repeat with original in every mail attachment in job
set original_name to (get name of original)
tell original
set original_path to POSIX path of ((project_folders as text) & "originaux:" & original_name)
save original in (POSIX file original_path)
end tell
end repeat
end tell
Obviously, if Mail does not detect an attachment then there is going to be a problem... What would be the method to force it to interpret the mail as not plain text (which it seems to do...)
Any idea ?
