Hi Paul,
Thanks for the script. I’m not an AppleScript Expert either.
I’ve dabbled with it from time to time and usually end up
hating the experience.
Sometimes using the “Record” feature of AppleScript
can give one a good idea of what to do.
I would probably eliminate a repeat or two. I don’t want
the script looping through all of my inboxes or emails,
I just want it to look at the last one that was just received.
I’m also looking into what Key Maestro might be able to do too.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Rick
