Sure. You could change this:
write s to fileRef
to this:
write s to fileRef starting at eof
Of course, the way the script is now, it makes a new file for every message
with a unique name. You'd need to take out the part that creates a new name
and names the file. Just hard-code the file name into the open statement in
the script. Showing the whole segment you'd need to change:
set p to path to desktop folder as string
-- To specify a particular folder other than the Desktop, replace
the
-- line above with something like this, using your own names:
-- set p to "MyDisk:Documents:Saved Mail:"
set fn to makeName(subj)
set fileRef to open for access (file (p & fn)) with write permission
write s to fileRef
close access fileRef
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the file type of file (p & fn) to tcode
set the creator type of file (p & fn) to ccode
end tell
will become:
set p to path to desktop folder as string
-- To specify a particular folder other than the Desktop, replace
the
-- line above with something like this, using your own names:
-- set p to "MyDisk:Documents:Saved Mail:"
set fn to "mymailarchive.txt"
set fileRef to open for access (file (p & fn)) with write permission
write s to fileRef starting at eof
close access fileRef
You could then delete the entire "makename" handler, from "on makename" to
"end makename".
