Mailsmith can do it: <http://www.barebones.com/> Depending on which email client you use, you could try this Applescript. (watch for line breaks: this list no longer supports utf-8 for some reason. Substitute the name of your MUA wherever "Mailsmith" appears and compile it in Script Editor. This script works in Mailsmith from OS 8.6 -> 10.2.8) ================================================ on run set the_list to get_list() set cl to count items of the_list if cl = 0 then display dialog "No message was selected" buttons "Oops!" if cl > 1 then display dialog "This script only works on a single message" buttons "Oops!" if cl = 1 then my do_action(the_list) end run on do_action(the_message) tell application "Mailsmith" set myMsg to item 1 of the_message set myBox to container of myMsg set myTitle to thread title of myMsg set myName to "Thread: " & myTitle as text set myBounds to {425, 50, 950, 760} set myWin to make new mail list window with properties {name:myName, bounds:myBounds} � with data every message of myBox whose thread title contains myTitle -- sort myWin by time received end tell end do_action on get_list() tell application "Mailsmith" set retry to false try set m_list to get selection set m_list to m_list as list set m to item 1 of m_list if class of m is not message then set retry to true on error set retry to true end try if retry then set retry to false try set m_list to message of window 1 as list on error display dialog "WTF?" set retry to true end try end if if retry then set m_list to {} end tell return m_list end get_list ================================================= This doesn't remove the PCI tag but gets all messages in the current thread and opens them in a new window. I have tested this on the current thread and it works with Mailsmith OMM. YMMV...
