Re: Pipe Email to Yojimbo
This is a test. The Yojimbo-Talk web page is breaking up long lines with hard returns, so that users who copy the script from there experience errors. To try to prevent the problem, I have tried breaking up long lines with Applescript continuation characters. Steve (* Script to pipe selected Apple Mail messages to Yojimbo notes Author: Steve Samuels ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) File: yojimbo22.txt PipeMailtoYojimbo.scpt Version:22 Date: 2007/04/16 This script is based on one by Jim Correia of Barebones, cited below. It adds the following information to to the Comments of an imported email note. If the comments Column is visible in Yojimbo's Item List Pane, then the information can be viewed without opening the note. * Added to Comments 1) the date sent (/mm/dd) 2) the name or address of sender or recipient 3) the first 60 characters of the message itself it, after removing returns, tabs, and most extra spaces. * Adds tags: email either in or out After running the script, a Comment will look something like: 2007/04/08 : NYTimes.com---Your subscription is up soon. Please rene (an incoming message) or 2007/04/09 : Sam---Hi, Sam! I can't believe that you won the lotte (an outgoing message) Notes: IMPORTANT: Before inserting the script into script-editor, open it in a text editor like BBEdit or Text Wrangler. Scroll down to a section 1. Text will not import for some rich text messages with attachments. The date sent, sender tags are added, but AppleScript's content of message function returns only variants of ??. If this happens, open the original message cut paste the content into the note created by the script. 2. Graphics are removed and replaced by question marks. If you wish to retain the graphics, import the mail via the Save PDF to Yojimbo option in Mail's Print window. 3. A message is classified as outgoing if the sender's address matches one of the user's addresses. If an account has been deleted, there is no address to match, and all messages in the account will be classified as incoming. To fix this behavior, create and inactivate a dummy account. Only the email address must be correct; the other settings are irrelevant. 4. You can reset the number of characters that are added to comments from the body of the message. The setting statement appears just after the on run command at the start of the script proper. 5. If you have selected messages in more than one Message Viewer, the script transfers only those from the Viewer that was opened first. 6. Changing the font of Yojimbo's item list may make the the list more readable.

Re: Pipe Email to Yojimbo
Version 22 1. The Yojimbo-Talk web page i breaks up long lines with hard returns. This caused errors for users who copied previous versions of the script from there. To fix this problem, I broke up long lines with Applescript continuation characters ¬. The error did not affect anyone who copied the script from their email. 2. The post of Version of 21 had two copies of the script and should therefore be replaced.

Pipe Mail to Yojimbo V 17
There are two main reasons for this revision: * To alert users that text will not import for some rich text messages with attachments. In these cases, AppleScript's content of message operator returns only variants of ??. The suggested work- around is to forward the message to yourself after deleting the attachments. * Version 16 gave an uninformative Applescript Error Message if no messages were selected. This has been fixed. Other changes: * The name-content separator in Comments is changed form ___ to ---. This, to my eye at least, makes the Comments line more readable. * Some typos are corrected and the code is tweaked. * The notes are revised. Please read them.
