Hi,

I try to drop emails from Mail app into one stack but the the dragdata is empty and no keys for the dragdata. I know that I can drop into a folder and drop from the folder, but I would like drop directly, saving the .eml file from the link and save the path to this.

I see that I can drop into Textedit, an this show like a link and if you edit it you found something like:

message:%3C29EA33CF-5EA8-45FB-8F93-22BACE10D918@myemail.com%3E

How can get this link?

The same issue if you drop a contact from the Agenda. How can get the dragdata of the vcf?

Salut,
Josep M

Hi Josep,

Apparently, there is an incompatibility between Mail.app and LiveCode. However, you can drop an e-mail onto a LiveCode app and use apple events to handle it. You could also use a little AppleScript droplet and make this droplet talk to your LiveCode app.

Kind regards,

Mark
