The question of how to email an item has come up before. Here is an
example script which will email the selected items as attachments
using Apple Mail. Save to your scripts folder and invoke with the
system wide script menu, or your favorite utility (e.g. Fast Scripts.)

- Jim

--begin script--


(*
Creates a new outgoing message with the selected Yojimbo items
attached.
Apple Mail version
*)

tell application "Yojimbo"
set _targets to (selected items of browser window 1)
set _files to (export _targets to (path to temporary items)) as list
end tell

tell application "Mail"
set _message to make new outgoing message
tell _message
set visible to true
tell content
repeat with _f in _files
(* Mail should accept a typeFileURL file reference here, but
doesn't. A POSIX path works. *)
set _f to POSIX path of _f
make new attachment with properties {file name:_f} at after the
last paragraph
end repeat
end tell
end tell
activate
end tell

tell application "Finder"
move _files to trash
end tell

Very cool - thank you, Jim!
Are there any plans to put an Applescript menu in Yojimbo (like in
BBEdit) or are we going to have to stick to the system-wide one?
Thanks again,
Pat

I just realised that there is an Applications folder in the Script
Menu that activates a folder full of scripts for a particular
application when that application is active. Just create a Yojimbo
folder in the Applications folder in your scripts folder and the
scripts therein only appear when that app is active. Probably old
news to a lot of you but I'm rather impressed!

Great! For the AppleScript challenged among us, would you mind posting
an alteration of this script that works with Mailsmith?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe - I did. It was the message that immediately followed the one
showing how to do it with Apple Mail.

For email clients not named "Apple Mail" or "Mailsmith" you are on
your own :-). The portion of the script which exports the selected
Yojimbo items to file is reusable though.

Jim
