Copy Message URLs AppleScript for Apple Mail
Mac OS X

In a previous post I noted the usefulness of the message URI scheme (although I wonder why Apple didn’t use the existing mid scheme).
I wrote an AppleScript to copy the message URIs of all currently selected messages in Apple Mail to the clipboard:
tell application "Mail"
if selection = {} then return
set urls to {}
repeat with msg in selection as list
set end of urls to "message:%3c" & (message id of msg as string) & "%3e"
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ", "
set the clipboard to urls as string
end tell
I stored this as an .scpt File into my ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail folder so I can access it from the AppleScript menu in Mail.
Update: John Gruber also has an article with a bit more research about this feature today, at Daring Fireball.
