Reveal Entourage Message In Finder

Please note: This article has been contributed by a user.

Currently Things cannot natively link to Entourage email messages by dragging into notes, as with Mail messages.

Since I knew that Entourage creates a series of files for spotlight indexing, I figured out the naming scheme and wrote this Applescript. View Script at Pastebin.com

It only supports revealing a single message at a time, currently. If you select multiple messages, only the last message will be revealed.

This script also supports Path Finder for those that use it.

Requirements: Entourage 2008 with Spotlight Indexing enabled.

Usage:

  • Download the script from pastebin, then copy and paste the script into a blank script in Script Editor
  • Compile, then Save to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items\Reveal Message In Finder\cF.scpt
  • In Entourage, the script can be activated from the Script menu, or by Ctrl-F (the \cF in the filename enables the shortcut)
  • A Finder or Path Finder window (depending on which is running) will appear with the Entourage Spotlight index file selected
  • Drag the selected file into your Things notes, and the resulting link will open the original email in Entourage!
