Hi, thanks for this great extension! I set up a filter which lauches a bat file which pipes it to a python script. This works great, but I have to run it for every match in a folder.

For example, I would like to run the bat with ervery mail which matches a specific topic. Lets say I would like to match all emails from ebay – do some regex and save the end-date of the auction to my (Google) calendar. Running it for every mail that comes in is cool, but processing (all) already received mails (at least as an option) would be also great. Is there a way to do it?

bye bye

Thanks for the reply, I played a litte bit with your code (I never did any Mozilla development before). I found two ways to achive my goal :)

1) when I pull up the for-loop which loops over the messages to the top of self.runFile it will create a new process for every message – my *.bat File gets called with the updated parameters  and does what I want. But creating a new process for ervery message "feels" wrong…

2) If I set the "blocking" in theProcess.run(); to true, it calls the batch file for every message with the updated params after the previous process finished. I think I will use this way and add a new Filter Methode "Run File (blocking)" to the Extension.

thanks again,

Andreas
