I receive many mails containing attachments. In some cases I wished it would be possible to mark all mails and have their attachments saved all at once (no need for me to open each mail separately).

Is this possible, maybe by using an AppleScript or an other trick ? It could save me “hours” (and maybe others, too)…

Unfortunately I get an error message when giving this a try… however I found that Mail offers a similar feature already (I have overseen it all the time, strange).

Anyway, thank you for your recommendation.
