Steve,
What task do you want to repeat 1000 times?
Todd
I have a Mail mailbox named "savers". It has somewhat over 1000
emails. I want to clean this out. I want to convert the emails to
text files so I can archive them and search their contents.
What I currently do:
1 - Navigate to the mailbox.
2 - Open the first email in the mailbox.
3 - Click in the body of the message.
4 - Command-A to select all text.
5 - Go to Mail>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection.
This creates a text file of the email contents.
6 - Save the file, using the subject line as the file name.
7 - Repeat steps 1 through 6 until all emails are converted.
Seems like there must be a way to automate this, I just haven't
figured it out yet.
I do *not* want to combine all emails into one giant text file.
Steve
