scripting a task in mail


  • Subject: scripting a task in mail
  • From: Rowland Carson via AppleScript-Users <email@hidden>

I’ve made some simple scripts for BBEdit and GraphicConverter (mostly by
recording actions and editing the result) but not for any other applications. I
have a task in Apple Mail that comes up frequently; I forward messages from the
local police to all those in the local Neighbourhood Watch group.

What I’d like to be able to do in AppleScript is to forward the
currently-selected message to my own address, and BCC it to the Contacts group
Neighbourhood Watch. Before sending, I want to insert the text “[neighbourhood
watch] ” at the beginning of the message subject line.

Can anyone offer suggestions about how to construct such a script?

And, yes, I know I could probably achieve a similar result by setting up a
Google Group - but not all of the recipients would be happy with that approach.

in friendship

Rowland
