Messages to Disk is an Entourage script which offers fast save of messages to disk as text files.
The script offers choice of kind of text file.
What's New:
Always prompts for location of folder for storing messages.
Allows choice of text file types: BBEdit, Tex-Edit Plus, Simple Text. You can add other program names and creator codes to the lists where "creatorNames" and "creatorTypes" are defined.
Gives progress report after storing each message, with option to turn off. Beeps twice when all files have been stored.
Fixed bugs in routine for making file name when first choice is already in use. Would fail if name was exactly 31 characters; got stuck in repeat sometimes trying to find valid name.
Added code to re-wrap (remove hard line endings from) the message text. If you don't want to do this, change the property "rewrapping" to false. This allows your text editor to soft wrap the text to your window size.
Rather than including entire source with miscellaneous headers, I select the recipients, from address, subject, sent date, and the body of the message. This makes for a "cleaner" text file with less extraneous stuff at the top.
Requirements:
Entourage.
