Applescript to track emails
After reading an earlier post 
on tracking emails with Google Maps, John Maisey contacted me about an applescript he has written that does the same thing.
Highlight an email in Mail.app and run the script. It then uses GeoTool to map the originating server from which the email was sent.
This is not the computer on which the email was sent, but the first mail server it passed through on its way to you.
For example, I received an email from one of my students this afternoon. Running the script on her email shows me where her email started its journey at a Gmail server in Mountain View, California:
Hours of fun for the idle and curious!
The script is available from John’s web site along with Dates to iCal and a script to remove iCal duplicates.
