macosxhints.com - Open a mailing list Mail message on gmane.org

I like to bookmark interesting or useful threads on mailing lists I subscribe to in the web archive of the HTTP - NNTP - mailing list gateway gmane.org, so I wrote this simple Apple script to extract the Message-ID of the selected email and open it in gmane.org in my default browser

Mail Scripts

MacOS X's Mail and Address Book have large AppleScript dictionaries which allow almost every aspect of these programs to be scripted. Since some features are rather cumbersome in the standard implementation, I decided to write some scripts to ease workflow. I started writing the scripts after the release of MacOS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and made several improvements and additions over time. After the release of MacOS X 10.3 (Panther) all scripts have been completely rewritten as AppleScript Studio applications allowing for many additional features.
