AppleScript: Email als PDF speichern, mit Attachments
by hubi on 23/03/2010Ich möchte eine Mail in Mail.app anklicken, danach sollte die Mail als pdf (wie unter Ablage Drucken PDF Als PDF sichern) in einem speziellen Ordner auf dem Schreibtisch mit folgendem Namen (Sendedatum, E-Mail-Adresse und Betreff aus Mail) gesichert werden. Der eventuelle Anhang sollte ebenfalls in diesem Ordner gesichert werden. Die Mail kann danach gelöscht werden.
