Chris;
As you could probably guess, neither of your other two methods work. Both
generate the same error.
I’ll just have to assume that the IMAP implementation of this account is
slightly wonky, and it’s throwing off OSX Mail just enough to break this
capability.
Unfortunately it’s the account that I’m most likely to want to use my broken
script with, and a half-broken script is just frustrating. The script just
copies the attachments of the selected message to the current Finder Folder,
which is especially nice when Mail is hidden on another screen, or there are
lots of attachments.
Thanks for giving it a good try though, I kept hoping that if I could only
“think different”, I could come up with a method that worked. But if you can’t
do it I doubt I’ll come up with another approach.
