* WHAT

  A collection of AppleScripts that I have written or have modified:

** Archive link(s)

   Convert selected Bookmark records in DEVONthink Pro to Web Archive

   records, deleting the original Bookmark record in the process. This

   script is useful for capturing links from RSS feeds, e.g., for

   adding articles from your Instapaper RSS feed to your DEVONthink

   Pro database.

** Import link(s) to DEVONthink

   When I'm using my iPhone or iPad and I find an interesting URL that

   I'd like to add to my DEVONthink Pro database, I mail the link to

   myself, using the following format for the message:

   - Subject: the name of the DEVONthink Pro record.

   - First line of body: the URL.

   - Lines beginning with "#": tags to associate with the record.

   - Everything else: Spotlight comments to associate with the record.

   Later, when I'm on my Mac and I have access to my DEVONthink Pro

   database, I select these messages in Mail.app and run this script,

   which imports the messages into DEVONthink Pro as Web Archive

   records, and moves the messages to the Trash folder.

   Improperly-formatted messages are ignored.

   The script contains a list-of-strings property named "signatures".

   Any lines in the selected message that are found in this list are

   ignored when the message is imported into DEVONthink Pro. As the

   name of the property suggests, this functionality is useful for

   ignoring email signatures. The default value of this property is

   {"d"}; you will certainly want to change it.

   For example, if I send a message like this to myself:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

From: Drew Hess

To: Drew Hess

Subject: Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

http://dougscripts.com/itunes/

#itunes

#applescripts

d

#+END_EXAMPLE

   then when I select this message in Mail.app and run the Import

   link(s) to DEVONthink script on it, the script will create a new

   Web Archive record in the Inbox of my default DEVONthink Pro import

   group, with the name "Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes," with the

   tags "itunes" and "applescripts", and with a web archive of

   [[http://dougscripts.com/itunes/]].

   See the script description for more details.

* INSTALLING

  Either copy or symlink the included script(s) into your

  ~/Library/Scripts directory. Make sure you preserve the filesystem

  layout, so that the scripts are visible to the applications they

  operate on; e.g., if the script lives in the Applications/Mail/

  directory, you should copy/symlink it into

  ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/.

  Scripts adapted/forked from other authors use the license of the
