Make sure you didn't have any line breaks in the URL, also if you
were retyping it, those aren't spaces in the file name, they are
underscores (_). Otherwise just go to <http://www.mythtech.net/
emailer> and look in the AppleScripts folder for the Save Many To
Text script.
Uh, what's mbox format, and who is FogCity?
mbox is a standard email mailbox format. FogCity is the original
creators of Emailer before it was sold to Apple/Claris. They still
have a bunch of applescripts and other utilities/tools for Emailer on
their web site at www.fogcity.com.
All I think I really need is a way to save all my email
correspondences
in text format for future reference (I do re-read them
occasionally), in
the event something someday happens to my CE or I'm not able to use it
(and get at that material) anymore. That way, if I ever have to use
another emailer, at least I'll still have the stuff I did with CE.
Depending on how you plan to reference them later, there is another
script I used to use that saves each selected email as a separate
text file, with the email subject line as the text file name (or at
least the first 31 characters or so of it). <http://www2.mythtech.net:
8081/emailer/Applescripts/Save_messages_as_text.zip> If your plan is
to stick them all in a folder for easily going back to them, then
maybe you want them all as their own file with an appropriate name.
This script will work with a group of selected messages all at once,
automatically putting each one into its own text file. The only
warning I can give is if there are many emails with the same subject
(as can happen with an active thread), the script can drag to a halt
trying to name each additional file as it appends an incrementing
number to the end of each file name, but appears to start back at 1
each time trying to find the next available number. If there are
enough of them it can actually slow down so much that it times out
and fails (and the whole time it is running, like all other Emailer
applescripts, you can't do anything else with OS 9, or in Classic as
the case may be).
I used to use that script until I decided that I didn't actually care
about each email being in a different file for my needs, and a single
file was actually better, so then I changed to the first script I
pointed you to (which also works MUCH faster, it could rip thru 150
emails in the blink of an eye, where the individual file version
could take a minute or more to do the same task).
