Drummond Field has written an applescript that exports an email from Mail.app into Yojimbo.

Unlike other “Email to Yojimbo” scripts, this one offers the option of exporting the email into Yojimbo as either a note or a PDF.

Select the message, run the script and a dialog appears:

Drummond doesn’t have a web site to host the script on, so it finds a home on Hawk Wings for the moment.

Don’t stop there though. Other useful Yojimbo scripts include:

1. A script to push Yojimbo notes onto an iPod.
2. A script to send a Yojimbo item with Mail.app.
3. A script to email yourself notes that are automatically inserted into Yojimbo.
4. Scripts for Yojimbo, NetNewsWire and de.licio.us integration.
5. All the other scripts you can find by searching Hawk Wings for “Yojimbo” and “script”.

On the Yojimbo mailing list, Dylan Damian shared two applescripts that help to integrate the new tagging feature of Yojimbo 1.3 with del.icio.us and NetNewsWire.

They use pukka to tag a URL in either Safari or NetNewsWire, post the link to del.ico.us and then create a web archive of the page in Yojimbo complete with the same tags.

For example, if you run the first script (tip: make a Quicksilver trigger for it) when viewing a web page in Safari, it launches pukka.

Tag the page with your chosen del.icio.us tags, and submit the page.

Pukka posts the URL to del.icio.us for you and then the script creates a web archive of the page in Yojimbo with the same tags.

Yojimbo becomes in effect, an off-line backup for your del.icio.us links.

The second script does the same thing from NetNewsWire.

In a nice additional touch, the scripts get Growl to tell you that they have done their job.

It’s all very clever and works a treat.

You can get the text of the scripts from Dylan’s post in the Yojimbo mailing list archive or just grab the two scripts here (PukkaAndYojimbo.zip).

They are easiest to use (I think) if you place them in the Safari and NetNewsWire folders in your ~/Library/Scripts/Application directory. Unless you are partial to NetNewsWire’s own Script menu, in which case you are looking for ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/Scripts.

WebnoteHappy has been updated. This clever app with an unfortunate name is a bookmark manager that allows you to tag and annotate your links.

The new version (1.2) brings support for syncing your bookmarks with your del.icio.us account, adds hot key support for Firefox and Shiira, clickable hyperlinks in the notes field and more.

All the fields in a WebnoteHappy webnote are now editable, including the URL itself.

The app sells itself partly as a native Mac OS X interface for del.icio.us and it does look nice:

You can read the full list of changes in the release notes .

WebnoteHappy is shareware (USD 24.95) and is available from the developer’s web site.bookmarks, delicious, URLs, tagging, Web 2.0, firefox, internet, not apple mail

Pukka is a posting client for del.icio.us that can be activated quickly by a bookmarklet on your browser toolbar.

It automatically loads the URL and title of the active web page into its interface. All you have to do is tag it, type a description if you want and post it. Highlighted text on the page is added to the description field. Very quick. Very smart.

And it has just got smarter. Version 1.3 released over the weekend adds support for private bookmarking through a new option in the app’s preferences pane:

Holding down the option key when posting now prevents the app from resetting.

The new version also adds full AppleScript support.

Cloud.lic.io.us is a widget that helps you quickly access your delic.io.us tags and bookmarks.

A new version was released today, which adds a “fancy slider” to the widget and a fix for changes in the delic.io.us API.

The widget offers a number of options to control the display of your tags.

You can choose — as you can in delic.io.us itself — to view only tags with one, two or five matches and more:

Clicking one of the tags opens a slider drawer which displays the matching URLs. You can click on them to open them directly or jump to the display of the URLs in delic.io.us itself by clicking the arrow on the bottom of the drawer:

Don’t let the name put you off. WebNoteHappy is a nice app for collecting, organising, tagging and sharing your bookmarks.

Smart folders, tags, integration with del.icio.us, global hotkeys and bookmarklets give the app substantial grunt.

It is also browser-independent, which is a boon for people who like or have to switch between browsers.

For Mail.app fans the initial version presented a problem. Its global hotkey (Command-Shift-D) conflicted with Mail’s inbuilt Send Message shortcut.

That has now been fixed; the hotkey is now only enabled for Camino, Firefox, NetNewsWire, OmniWeb, and Safari.

Other improvements, including private saving of bookmarks to del.icio.us, and fixes are detailed in the release notes .

WebNoteHappy is shareware (USD 24.95) and a 30 day demo is available from the developer’s web site .bookmarks, tagging, organizing, delicious, multi broswer, mail.app, apple mail, productivity
