Hey any comments are still appreciated, however I think I may have just done it, and I don’t know how.

tell application “Mail”
set theSelection to selection
set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
extract address from sender of theMessage
end tell

Hey, i have been looking all over for something kinda like your script, well at least part of it.
Mail’s dictionary isn’t very helpful i guess if you don’t know what your looking at lol.
Anyway, i was hoping some one could help me out… I need to extract the name, if there is one, and the address, and then where you have it “say” something i would just leave it open so i could use the variables “the_sender” and my “the_address” for other things. I cant get it to extract the address no matter what I do.

so basically just this…
on perform_mail_action(info)
tell application “Mail”
set the_messages to |SelectedMessages| of info
repeat with a_message in the_messages
set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message

(*if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
say “Mail from ” & the_sender
end if*)

end repeat
end tell
end perform_mail_action

this is a great script! works fine too…
i was wondering who i can make it say:

You have an email from [sender] with the subject [subject]

i tried
say “You have an email from ” & the_sender & “with the subject ” & the_subject

this doesn’t work. i take it that i’ve made a mistake with the “the_subject” part. can anyone help?

thanks!

Hi – I love the concept of this script however I am having a problem. I am using SL with Mail.app 4.2. The script announces the name of the previous email vs the latest email that came in. Any ideas?
