Die Idee war vor fast 9 Jahren irgendwie Emails zu Archivieren.. (ich persönlich habe einfach ein riesiges Mail-Postfach auf meinem Synology-NAS, in dass jedes Jahr die alten Emails wandern).
Nun dieses Skript pfuscht etwas (öffnet den Druck-Dialog über den Keyboard-Shortcut) und druckt die Email das PDF aus.
Die Anhänge einer Email werden kurz im Download-Ordner gepspeichert (Sicherheitsvorgabe von OSX) und dann in den Unterordner der Nachricht ~/Desktop/mail_archiv verschoben.
Achtung: Auf Grund der Tatsache, dass das Script Tastatur-Befehler ausführen muss, um zu funktionieren, muss die Anwendung die das Script ausführt die entsprechenden Rechte für Bedienungshilfen erhalten.
-- Save Mail as PDF and it's attachments to folder
-- Created by hubionmac (22.03.2010) requested by Udo
-- Update by hubionmac (09.01.2019)
-- - works now with 10.13.6
-- - the name of the outputfolder my contain the time and no just the date (see variable showtimeinfoldername)
-- - checkname-function updated so it works with suffixes > 3 characters
-- - Save Attachment into any other folder than downloads does not work out of the box with newer OSX, so first save inside downloads (subfolders are allowed) and then move it to it's final destination ;-)
