Scripting Entourage to automatically save attachments

R

Richard Andrews

Hello, I'm a little new to applescript and was wondering if there is a way
to write a script that is called by an Entourage rule that will save any
attachments of the messages that match the rule to the hard drive. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

No need to write a script, just use a rule (Tools menu, Rules). One of the
actions available is to Save Attachments.

For a little more control over attachments check out these scripts:
===============
Friendlier Claris It! For Entourage X 1.5.5  can found on macscripter.net.
In addition to removing attachments it also will file incoming messages in
various preassigned folders (or create them on the fly).

!MySaveAttachments
=====================
Allen Watson's scrip which JUST does what you want, removes and logs
attached files.

tourage%20v%20X/%20!MySaveAttachments%5Cmo9.scpt-binhex.hqx>

The suffix "\mo9" to the name gives it a shortcut of Cmd-Option-9. You can
change or remove that as desired.

HOWEVER, you need the companion script "SavedFolderList" that is required.
"SavedFolderList"contains the list of predefined folders you can set up and
modify with the main script. If you download the first script you need to
also download the second one:
