Hello
I think Tiger’s Mail may have some bugs in its Applescript interface. I’m trying to get the Mailbox that the message lives in (coz a smart mailbox won’t tell you). I can get the message id of a selected message, say, but trying to get the message mailbox turns up blank (literally!)…
Select at least one message in Mail, then run this script. :
tell application "Mail"
set msgs to the selected messages of the front message viewer
set msg1 to the first item of msgs
-- return id of msg1 -- this works
return mailbox of msg1 -- this gives me nothing
end tell
Similarly, select no messages in Mail. (Select a mailbox you haven’t been in for a while.) Now try
tell application "Mail" to set sel to the selected messages of the front message viewer
Nothing! Not even an empty list, as (I would expect) should happen. So you can’t now say
get the count of sel
to check if you’ve got any items because sel hasn’t been defined yet!
I’m puzzled. Thanks for any light anyone can shed.
