Mail2iCal scripts updated
Georg Klein has released updated versions of Mail2iCal (1.4) and Mail2iCalToDo (1.4), applescripts that will create an
There doesn’t appear to be a changelog anywhere, but I am guessing that these new scripts are better than the old ones in several interesting and important ways.
UPDATE: And I guessed right. Georg posts in the comments:
1.4 adds a (limited) means forcalendar designation: when run from arule , the scripts will place the calendars in a calendar named after the rule, creating a new calendar if necessary. Since many users seem to use the scripts withMail ActOn , the scripts try to determine the Mail ActOn prefix and delimiter, using only the last part of the rulename as calendar (e.g. “ActOn: e | Important” will lead to a calendar named Important). Manual execution is unchanged.
You can get the latest versions from Georg’s web site.

I usually post changes on Versiontracker. However, for the records: 1.4 adds a (limited) means for calendar designation: when run from a rule, the scripts will place the calendars in a calendar named after the rule, creating a new calendar if necessary. Since many users seem to use the scripts with MailActOn, the scripts try to determine the MailActOn prefix and delimiter, using only the last part of the rulename as calendar (e.g. “ActOn: e | Important” will lead to a calendar named Important). Manual execution is unchanged.

Hi Georg
Thanks for posting the change. That is interesting!
I see where I went wrong. I usually look in the other site as it loads much faster. I should have double-checked :-(

Hi there
I have just downloaded the mail2ical 1.4 the first time since this was exactly what I was looking for. However I am a bit stuck when it comes to installing the app. Can you help?
