Filter emails in Mail.app with regular expressions
-- Mail.app can't run a "Contains" filter with a regex,
-- so you can't filter on HTML content. Until now.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
try
repeat with theMessage in theMessages
-- Getting the content as string converts all HTML tags to '?' and just leaves text content
set theBody to quoted form of (theMessage's content as string)
-- It's awkwardly hard to get sed to work w/ mult. lines, so collapse newlines
set theCommandString to "echo " & theBody & " | tr '\\n' ' ' | sed \"s/brett Author/*MATCHED*(&)/\"" as string
