Mail

Copy Mail URI.workflow

Copies to clipboard selected e-mails information. Creates a link to the e-mail (e-mails) selected and uses information about this document for the link. If only one e-mail is selected a simple link is copied. If more than one e-mail is selected a list is created in the <ol> style.

(Deprecated) Toggle Hidden Files

Note: This is now deprecated as a shortcut now exists since macOS Sierra which works much quicker: cmd+shift+. (link).

Makes Finder toggle hidden files. Call it once and hidden files are shown, call it again and they will be hidden. Repeat if necessary.
