In Outlook Express I had an attached AppleScript that would allow me to
select messages and export them to an FMP database (script below). Now,
with 10.1 (Puma64) and Mail.app I get hung on the first step, getting
the selected messages. It doesn't seem to understand the term
"selection" and I can't find anything comparable in the dictionary. Does
anyone know if this is possible? Also, am I correct in assuming that the
closest I can come to attaching a script to Mail.app is putting it in my
Script Runner?
Thanks,
Hurston
