Save the script below to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/ and assign it to a new Mail rule.

An easier way to send yourself links is by adding +reading to your mail address. If your normal address is myaddress@gmail.com, it would become: myaddress+reading@gmail.com.

The beauty of this is that you can add this address to your Contacts and give it a nice name like “Add to Reading List”. The previous hint required editing e-mail subject lines in a predefined way. Apps like Reeder are able to send to a default mail address. With this, set the +reading address to be your default address, share via e-mail, tap Send, and it's done.

Set up a new rule with the following options:

• Rule: “any recipient contains ‘+reading’”
• Actions:
  • “mark as read”
  • “execute AppleScript” (this script)
  • “delete message"
  • “stop evaluating rules”

Here’s the script (you can also get it on GitHub):

(*
Add to Reading List

Script for Apple Mail to find http and https links in emails and add them to Safari's Reading List automatically.

Best practice: setup with "any recipient contains '+reading'". 
Actions "mark as read", "execute AppleScript", "delete message", "stop evaluating rules"

1. Simulates a double-click on the alias to my web server (where my WordPress blog lives) to mount it as a WebDAV volume (just like iDisk)
2. Runs the handy Unix backup command rsync to copy the remote contents locally
3. Unmounts my web server

I then set up a daily iCal event to run the script at 4 a.m. Since I already have CrashPlan backing up my hard drive, that takes care of archiving periodic versions of the backup, just in case.

Here's the script:

set filepath to "Macintosh HD:Users:USERNAME:Library:Favorites:www.example.com"
tell application "Finder" to open filepath
delay 30

do shell script "rsync -av /Volumes/www.example.com/blog/ '/Volumes/Backup/wordpress-backup'"

tell application "Finder" to eject "www.example.com"
