[Newbie] Creating new objects

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I just started learning applescript on Monday and I’m working on my first script. I’m trying to create a new outgoing message in Mail, and I don’t know what to put for the location. I know I have to use make new, but I don’t know what to follow at with… I’m trying stuff like this, but I don’t quite think I understand the location part…:

make new outgoing message at outbox
make new outgoing message at outbox of app "Mail"
make new message at outbox
make new message at outbox of app "Mail"
#2

ok, maybe i dont need a location… this code works:

set fwd to make new outgoing message

Cody,

Check out the mail scripts that came bundled with your computer (in the Scripts Folder), there’s one entitled, “Create New Message” which should prove helpful.

Sincerely,
