Apple Script to delete mail based on a pattern found in the mail.
Posted on 2009-05-06
I can tell Apple Scripting is what i need to help process the mail that I need. (Hundreds a day)
Can someone help me produce a script that looks for a pattern and if found, deletes the message?
The pattern is:
".
Army "
Yes, the hard returns and all.
A normal (keeper) message may contain the word Army, but if there is a period, then the hard coded returns, then the word Army, I want to delete the message.
Best way to do that is.......
Thanks!
