Hello!
I am trying to write a script that searches the EagleFiler library for emails based on the source URL. This works great in the GUI, but I can’t automatically open emails in mail.app if the emails are in an mbox. This works if the email is a standalone eml file.
The exact script I have is as follows:
messageID = "<ad5e038a-3440-071f-1a0d-7eb19da76a55@example.tx>"
try
tell application "EagleFiler"
if not (exists browser window 1) then
make new browser window
end if
set search query of browser window 1 to messageID
activate
delay 0.2
set visibleResults to displayed records of browser window 1
if (count of visibleResults) > 0 then
set theRecord to item 1 of visibleResults
set selected records of browser window 1 to {theRecord}
set emlFile to (file of theRecord) as alias
tell application "Mail"
open emlFile
activate
end tell
set foundInEF to true
display dialog "Found email: " & (POSIX path of emlFile)
end if
end tell
end try
It seems that displayed records does not expose the emails if they are in an mbox but does if they are a eml file.
My ask: any suggestions or workarounds?
