yeah, the files are basically:
line 1: message length
line 2 through length from line 1: message content
everything else: a plist you can ignore
what you seem to want is trivially formatted in the headers of the
message (so you can ignore parsing the MIME formatted content);
AppleScript can do this crudely by reading the file line by line and
parsing the header fields; would be a bit easier as a shell script,
or with a scripting language that has a library for parsing MIME
messages
Thanks your anser, steve, but I have to admit: I did not understand
that. How does Applescript read the file line by line in the Finder?
What I'm looking for is an applescript, which I can trigger (by means
of a Quickeys shortcut). This script would read (in the Finder) this
information, which would then in turn allow me to change the name of
the email file appropriately.
Oh, maybe I have to add, that I do move these email files first out of
their respective mbox folders to otgher locations...
