That part between folders/ and /T is unique to each user, can change across logins, and is likely to change across reboots but there's a way to handle that. Unix tradition (as well as formal standards like SUS and POSIX) provides an environment variable named TMPDIR which is a recommendation to programs of where to put temporary files instead of the fixed shared directories /tmp/ and /var/tmp/. On MacOS TMPDIR is a directory named 'T' at the 3rd level below /var/folders/, so instead of that long fixed pathname you could just say: open $TMPDIR/com.freron.MailMate.Visualize.csv That way you'll probably never need to change the script again. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Generating a report from a smart mail box
Hello Sherif Your suggestion (very?) hack-y way of using the Visualizer work fine. I followed your instructions on enabling the Visualizer. I selected the range of messages that I needed. Started the Visualize command. Opened a terminal window and executed the Open command on the resulting csv file. Because I have Excel as my default application for csv files. Excel made using the csv file contents very easy. To make this simpler I created a shell script to open the cvs file. cat ./bin/OpenMainMateVisualize.sh # # open ../../var/folders/ts/grmqglgs7zd1nwgy9gwznz2cgp/T//com.freron.MailMate.Visualize.csv thanks a lot.

There is a (very?) hack-y way of getting what you want, or almost what you want. It should be good enough if this is a one-off thing you need to do, but it won't be a good solution if you need to do this often, or if the unread and flagged fields are critical to you. First, install the Visualize bundle (which you can do from the Preferences window ➝ Bundles pane). Once it's installed, go to the mailbox you want to list, disable Organize by Thread (otherwise messages 'nested' under the thread won't be included) and turn off thread arcs if they're on (to make things go faster). Select all messages (say, with Command-a), then click on Command menu ➝ Visualize ➝ Emails by time. What happens next is that MailMate will open a Safari window with some visualizations of the emails you selected. You're not actually interested in the visualizations, you're interested in the url in Safari. If you look at the end of the url, you'll find a path to a csv file that the plugin is using to make plots. For example: .../var/folders/0l/kq0tjm3x4sq65wlwpwz5y7gcgn/T//com.freron.MailMate.Visualize.csv You can open that path and find the csv file. The file has name, email, subjectLine, mailer, and localDateTime fields information for the emails you listed. Like I said, a hack-y way. I hope this helps. If I'm missing a much easier way of doing this, then it would be great if someone shared it. Sherif -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
