Script: SaveAsNote - jobisoft/quicktext GitHub Wiki

With this script you are able to create notes which are stored as usual messages in a separate folder named Notes.

If you create it as a reply to another message, it will be part of the thread.

Script

let win = this.mWindow;

// Get folders
let draftFolderURI = win.gCurrentIdentity.draftFolder;
let notesFolderURI = draftFolderURI.replace("/Drafts", "/Notes");
let folder = win.MailUtils.getExistingFolder(notesFolderURI);
//let folder = win.MailUtils.getOrCreateFolder(notesFolderURI);
if (!folder) {
  win.alert('Notes folder does not exist:\n' + notesFolderURI);
  return '';
}

// Reset email addresses
// TO
let toRow = win.document.getElementById("addressRowTo");
win.addressRowClearPills(toRow);
win.addressRowAddRecipientsArray(toRow, [win.gCurrentIdentity.fullAddress]);
// CC
let ccRow = win.document.getElementById("addressRowCc");
win.addressRowClearPills(ccRow);
// BCC
let bccRow = win.document.getElementById("addressRowBcc");
win.addressRowClearPills(bccRow);
// REPLY-TO
let replyRow = win.document.getElementById("addressRowReply");
win.addressRowClearPills(replyRow);

// Prefix subject
let prefix = this.mVariables[0];
let msgSubject = win.document.getElementById('msgSubject')
if (prefix && !msgSubject.value.startsWith(prefix + ':')) {
  msgSubject.value = prefix + ": " + msgSubject.value;
}

// Set background color
let bgcolor = this.mVariables[1];
let doc = win.gMsgCompose.editor.document;
let body = doc.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0];
if (bgcolor && !body.getAttribute("bgcolor")) {
  body.setAttribute("bgcolor", bgcolor);
}

// Remove draft if already saved
//if (win.gMsgCompose.compFields.draftId) {
if (win.gMsgCompose.savedFolderURI == draftFolderURI) {
  await win.RemoveDraft();
}

// Save to notes folder and close compose window
win.gCurrentIdentity.draftFolder = notesFolderURI;
try {
  await win.SaveAsDraft();
  win.gCurrentIdentity.draftFolder = draftFolderURI;
  win.MsgComposeCloseWindow();
}
catch(err) {
  win.gCurrentIdentity.draftFolder = draftFolderURI;
}

Usage

First create the folder Notes under your account.

The script accepts two optional arguments:

• The first one is a prefix of the subject to set.
• The second one is a background color of the message.
