10.4: Combine Mail messages for print via Automator
Authored by: osxpounder on Apr 05, '06 02:49:38PM

Thanks! That'll be handy in my work.

I noticed that we can also save this Automator action as a plug-in, to the Scripts Menu. That just saves it in the top level of your User/Library/Scripts folder. I moved it into a subfolder. Automator has no probs reopening it and letting me edit it even though I moved it. Nice.

I also inserted an action: Ask for Confirmation. That's so it can remind me how to use it!

For "Message", I typed: Before you combine Mail messages.

For "Explanation", I put: First, you select the messages you want in Mail. They will be put into a new message in the order you see in your Mail window (top to bottom), so sort the messages accordingly first. Then double-click the Automator application, and voila, you will have a new Mail message. Press OK if you're ready, or Cancel if you want to go back and sort your messages first.

When I run it, the dialog box pops up, reminds me how the thing works, and lets me decide to continue, or to go back and sort. Works great!
