Look at "!Claris It! v4", original script for Outlook Express by Robert Buckley, modified and enhanced by me for Entourage v. X, on my web site or at AppleScript Central. Also, I'm starting a new scripting web site since I have trouble uploading to my iDisk. It isn't complete yet, but the above script is there. The new site is at:
<http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The !Claris It! script is quite smooth; I use it a half-dozen times every day. It will remove multiple attachments from a message, and it leaves a log line at the <top> of the message indicating what was removed and where the attachment was stored, full path. I have a companion script called "Open File of Selected Spec" (also on the web site) that will let you select the file path and run the script to open the saved attachment. The first script also lets you set up a list of favorite folders in which to store files; when you run it, the list pops up, you select the destination you want, and the files get saved there. Oh! Yes, you can select multiple messages in a folder and the script will process them all at once. As it stands, it will throw an error if you give it a message that has no attachments; I figure you would want to know if you select the wrong message. But that could be changed, if you ask, to just ignore messages that don't have any attachments. I keep meaning to modify !Claris It! further, to put the folder list into a separate "preferences" script object, but I went to so much trouble to work that feature into the script that I hesitate to mess with it. Its main shortcoming is that every time edit the script in any way, I lose the entire saved folder list. That won't be a problem for anyone who does not edit the script.
