Email Selected Note in Evernote [Applescript]

Function

Email the selected note in Evernote using Safari and Mail.

The script first export the selected note in Evernote as an HTML file to the Desktop. Then open the file using Safari and use Safari’s “Mail Contents of This Page” function to mail the the note. The reason to first open the note in Safari is to preserve all the HTML elements the note may have, including any checkbox.

Requirements

• Evernote.app
• Safari.app
• Mail.app

Instruction

• Select a note in Evernote
• Run the script (a temporary folder named “ev_export” will be created on Desktop to hold the exported HTML file)
• Wait for Mail.app to create a new email message (the title of the note will be inserted into the “subject” field of the new email message)
• Specify the recipient’s email address and click send
