Email task to ToDo List

[Roland Küffner]

Hi Tom,

here is a very, very basic script that gets called by a mail rule and  
adds the subject to the frontmost OO document. You might want to  
adjust that - as said: very basic, but it might get you started - I  
use the mail part of this script myself but I don't send stuff to OO,  
so this part is rudimentary.

using terms from application "Mail"
	on perform mail action with messages allMails
		tell application "Mail"
			repeat with aMail in allMails
				set theSub to subject of aMail
				-- My mail rule treats only mails with the prefix [todo]
				-- so my tasks start at position 7 of the subject string
				set theSub to text 7 thru -1 of (get theSub)
				my addTask(theSub as text)
				-- test your scripts before using!!
				delete aMail
			end repeat
		end tell
	end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

on addTask(theTask)
	tell application "OmniOutliner Professional"
		tell front document
			make new row at end of rows with properties {topic:theTask}
		end tell
	end tell
end addTask
