Fwd: Send outgoing message error from Mail.app

Luther,

I agree with your observation  that a 

saved and unsent message is contained in the Drafts mailbox

How can I command Applescript to proceed with an outgoing message that is not saved?

The outbox mailbox only appears to activate in Mail.app if an outgoing message cannot be sent. On error, an outgoing message appears to end up in Mail's outbox. Absent an error of sending, the message does not end up in the outbox mailbox, and the outbox mailbox is not visible.

Yes. If you are connected to an "always on" DSL line, for example, you will never see the Outbox mailbox.

The condition that I am trying to address is sending an outgoing message that has been  formatted correctly, and that has  an address in the  "To:" field. I am attempting to run an applescript to  send a specific outgoing message,  similar to what a user might request by clicking the Send command in the Message menu of Mail. As far as I see, an unsent outgoing message is not contained by any mailbox.

Unless it has been saved. A saved and unsent message is contained in the Drafts mailbox.

Perhaps you should include a command to 'save' the message first, then identify and send it.
