Re: Emailer script to file replies with replied-to messages

Yup; messages can be referred to by name, number (sequentially in the
folder) or ID. the ID of a message is unique within the message
database, and is immutable. Only one message can ever have a given ID
number, and the ID of a message can never be changed.

All incoming messages have a reply ID property; this always points the
the most recent reply to the message (i.e., if there have been two or
more replies, the earlier ones are lost to this message); if a message
has not been replied to, its reply ID property is zero.

Yes, Dan did almost all (if not all) the Applescript support in Emailer
2.0; I was the primary applescript tester in that project. David
Cortwright was the UI designer, and he also wrote a lot of the sample
Applescripts and some of the useful ones included with the application.
The three of us had lots of interesting interactions (e.g., "Why does
this work like this?" and "How can I script such and such?" and "Wouldn't
it be neat if we could script this and that?"). Oh Dan also rewrote the
address book for v3.
