Re: Adding a message to a mailbox in Mail

Nevertheless, it would be consistent with Apple's general policy to provide,
bundled, a plain app that just works OK, and leave the more sophisticated
possibilities as 3rd-party opportunities to applications such as Entourage
and Eudora. I think it's reasonable for that principle to be extended to its
AppleScript implementation, and a cut-off at the point of "automating the
UI" sounds reasonable to me. Of course. the most exciting stuff in an app
like Entourage is coming up with stuff that the UI cannot do, but there's no
reason why Mail needs to provide the same degree of magic.

Well put. I would add that automating all UI tasks (and making sure they all work as expected) is far higher priority than 'throwing in a bunch of stuff just because we have code lying around that we think might work.' Just because we focus on the important stuff doesn't mean we don't care about what we don't mention.
