Save attachments Apple Script for Mail in Lion
Hello,
The script below has been superb for us as we need attachments that come in from specific people to be saved automatically to a folder. We then have a series of Folder Actions that take care of things thereafter.
However since upgrading to Lion this script doens't seem to work. I know a few others are having problems and wondered if this is a bug with Lion or if the changes in mail mean that this script needs re-worked. Any help would be great!
