Re: Mac OSX Automator Workflow for PBEM
Hi Gandalf:
I have a Mac. I have an automator "workflow" that I posted earlier. It makes hosting PBEM a lot faster. It now takes less than 5 minutes to host the turn and get all the emails out. But it could be quicker if I did not need to manually add the turn number to each email subject line. I am not cranky, but why not do even better! 
Maybe I will take a look at some of the websites about using Automator.

Re: Mac OSX Automator Workflow for PBEM
If the game switch tells it to output a scoreboard file then you can get the turn from that.
Or you can do a check of the .2h files with
dom3 --verify gamename
and the turn number will be in the tiny .chk file

Hmm. A little too advanced for my lawyer brain. |

Re: Mac OSX Automator Workflow for PBEM
PashaDawg, check my code - I've implemented the Turn Number option already.
It's the incoming mail-sorter and web-based status page that I'll be working on.
Gandalf, i've used the *nix mail sorters. I don't think it will work on the OSX, since the Mail.app program establishes a direct pop3 connection to the mail server, bypassing any *nix mail processing (e.g., the mac is not being used as a mail server). I'm sure there's a way to do it in applescript with mail rules, I just haven't had time to play with it.
