In my constant state of trying to make things a bit more efficient for myself. (I’m a big believer in automation, ask anyone that has ever worked with me.) We have computers! Make the computers do work instead of us manually doing things on the computer.
I wanted to find a way to auto-create a reminder from an email. I assume you can figure out how to create a rule to match an email in Mail.app, but one of the actions you can take on a mail rule is “Run AppleScript”.
This AppleScript, given the email match, will create a reminder that links back to the email for you:
using terms from application “Mail”
on perform mail action with messages selectedMessages
try
log “Starting script execution”
tell application “Reminders”
repeat with theMessage in selectedMessages
try
tell application “Mail”
