... It is contained in the Preferences file com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. In that file, the should be at least one Dictionary named Root containing a key/value pair named Root; a sub-dictionary named LSPrefBindings containing a number (mine has 77) of key/value pairs. There is an Array named U:mailto that contains a Dictionary named 0. In here is a String named LSBundleIdentifier containing the value com.qualcomm.eudora, which just happens to be my mailer of choice.

Now, what you could do that would be *REALLY* spiffy would be to create a similar routine that took into account every stand-alone, AppleScriptable mailer for the Mac.

<x-tad-smaller> Huh.  It's a promising start, thanks. I  search the  </x-tad-smaller>

<x-tad-smaller> listed in there.</x-tad-smaller>

<x-tad-smaller> Does anyone know where that setting lives?  (Does anyone have any </x-tad-smaller>
