X (probably also Entourage 2001, but untested) Description: Saves attached files to selected folders, logs location in message. OSAX: None !Claris It! -- A script for Microsoft Entourage to save attached files to disk, logging the location in the original message. Named for its similarity to a feature of the classic Claris Emailer application. Usage: Select one or more messages with attachments in a folder, or open a message with attachments. Run the script from the Entourage Script menu. Latest revision: Saturday, February 2, 2002 Original author: Robert Buckley. The original README file is appended below. Adapted by Allen Watson for Entourage 2001 and Entourage v. X. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/> <http://www.applescriptcentral.com> Several changes from the original edition have been made: 1. folderList property: Instead of prompting just once for a folder when you first use the script, this version on its first run will ask you to define the list of folders it should use (kept in a property in the script). You can have as many entries in this list as you like, except that the final two entries must be "EDIT LIST" and "Other". When you run the script it will display the list of folders to let you double-click the one in which to store the file(s). The first time you run the script, it will prompt you to add your folders, delete any folders already in the list, or modify them. If you ever wish to further modify the list, you can simply click "EDIT LIST" in the folder list, and you will be allowed to make modifications and additions. 2. This version does not insert clickable URLs for the file, but it inserts a typical path string for the file, e.g., "MyDisk:Users:Allen:Documents:readme.txt". I have provided a companion script that will open the filespec when you select the spec and run the script: !Open File of selected spec. Put this script into your menu, select a file path in the message, and run the script; the file will open in its usual application (e.g. Word for Word files, Excel for Excel spreadsheets, TextEdit for text files). 3. V4--The routines for editing the folder list have been made recursive, allowing multiple passes while making changes. Ability to sort the list has been added. To sort, you must choose the "EDIT LIST" option when the folder list is presented; the dialog will ask if you want to sort, and then will ask if you want to Add to or Modify the list. If you don't want to make changes, click the "No other changes" button. The script will then sort the list and re-present it for your choice of folder. Original readme for Outlook Express script follows; mainly of historical interest. Claris It! Claris It! imitates Claris Emailer's enclosure behaviour by saving all attachments in a folder of the user's choice and removing them from the original message, making a note of the details at the start of the message.It also adds a clickable URL that links to the attachment. How to Work It Define an incoming mail rule in OE to run the script when a message has attachments. You should make it the last rule in the list because you won't be able to execute any further rules afterwards. You can put the script anywhere you like. Which messages you apply the rule to is up to you but "Messages with attachments" runs quicker than "all messages". The first time you use the script (or if you get rid of the folder), it will prompt you to choose a location to store your attachments in) Notes After the attachments have been removed, OE still reports the message's original size. This is true even if you compress the database by holding down the option key at start-up.
