Greetings,

I’ve been looking, so far in vain, for Mailsmith Label and
Priority tags in the mbox export (File> Export Mail...).

Are there any Applescripts available that export a Mailbox with
these settings intact --preferably as tab-separated-text-- to
help with experimentation? I found a reference to a “BareBones
flat-export script” but cannot find it.

Thanks

If you run this

tell application "Mailsmith"
activate
get properties of selection
end tell


when a message is selected, it will let you see what a message comprises of.. You would then have to create a new one with the properties you want (adding the labels etc as text). If you want something to customise, search for scripts to resend queued messages (I can't find a local copy) or resend with attachments (they're out there, from the days when resending didn't include the attachment or something...about ten years ago! Whatever it was, it was written by Christian Smith IIRC).

Nifty.



>get properties of selection

There:

label index:6, label name:"Red", notes:""

Feels like finding an easter egg




>run in Applescript Editor wth Result showing to see the output

Helpful :-)


How would I go about enhancing this script to save the results
as a text document in a given directory? When I do a manual Save
As... from the Script editor, only the script appears to be
saved. And would this enhanced script have to be different were
I to have all the messages in a mailbox selected ? Or if a
mailbox itself was selected ??

Thanks for your insights

Applescript should let you add them together. Do you want a message or text document?


set myText to label index of seleciton & " " & notes of selection & someotherfieldyouwant

will compile the bits you want. I don't have many scripts to hand to cobble together anything but search the web for mailsmith scripts with phrases like "make new"

I'm pretty basic on AS. I would probably start with gathering the components then do something with

insert text myText

which is about as inelegant as you can get. Also try recording a script from Mailsmith's script menu.
