August 08, 06 Apple's Mail doesn't allow you to save a bunch of email messages at a time. Export Messages is a simple Mail script that takes all the selected messages and creates a folder on the Desktop called "Exported Messages" and writes the messages to individual text files, with the subject as the file name. Perfect for saving plain text messages like mailing list subscriptions, so you don't have to keep them in Mail! This isn't designed for formatted messages with HTML. It also doesn't save attachments, just the message text.

Also includes "Speak Mailbox & Subject" which is very handy if you're like me and keep Mail open but don't want to flip over to it every time something comes in. With this script, you can decide whether you want to see the message or keep working!

Requirements: These scripts work with both Panther and Tiger's Mail. Installation instructions for each are provided.
