I wrote new ebook about all of Mail.app’s AppleScript (in Japanese). This is my #70 th ebook in this series.
PDF 369 pages.
This book introduces how to get and send detailed email information, send files as attachments, visualize and display email threads in a mind map style, and send using SendGrid’s high-speed email delivery service via REST API. This book introduces a wide range of practical email-related AppleScript know-how.
