I've tried the usual approach as suggested by Marlyse and others and it
never worked reliably for me. I forget the exact problem now - it was
either that it never worked under any circumstance, or only worked when
actually receiving the email but not at all when invoked via running a
filter or script later.
I need a reliable way to have messages not appear in the RMW. (CTM
listening?) The ideal approach IMO would be to have in filter setup
either a new action, or another checkbox just under the description
field, called "Exclude from RMW", which just like it sounds would exclude
the email message if it met the filter criteria from appearing in the RMW.
What I created, and works in every situation, is an AppleScript called
"RMW Hide". It's saved as an application with the "stay open" option. The
source is:
on RMW_Hide(msgID)
tell application "PowerMail"
set theTrash to mail trash
try
set theMsg to message id msgID
on error
set theMsg to 0
end try
if theMsg is not 0 then
set origFolder to theMsg's storage
if origFolder is not theTrash then
move theMsg to theTrash
move theMsg to origFolder
end if
end if
end tell
end RMW_Hide
From my SpamSieve scripts and other scripts that I have, I added the
following snippet (between the comment lines) to then call the "RMW Hide"
AS application:
tell application "PowerMail"
set msgs to current messages
repeat with m in msgs
-- do a bunch of processing here
--
set msgID to m's ID as number
ignoring application responses
tell application "RMW Hide" to RMW_Hide(msgID)
end ignoring
--
--
end repeat
end tell
Further, this simple code above can be saved as an AppleScript itself and
used either from filter actions or from the AppleScript menu in PM.
This 2-phase approach (app + script), while it may not meet the needs of
everyone, works reliably and very quickly every day for me in every
situation. Feel free to contact me off-list for additional questions.
