1. If you're not using the preview pane, but open each message in its own window, how do you access the message in the front window?

Well, I wouldn't call that obtuse, I'd call it missing.

Oh, OK.

If the selection in the message list matches the open window, you could pull it off. Otherwise, you can't.

How do you identify the message that is in reply to a received message? Here's an example from emailer that files an outgoing reply with message it is in reply to:

This is another case of functionality that Mail doesn't have (tracking replies to received messages), so it's not available via Applescript. Should that become a feature in Mail, it will become a feature of our Applescript dictionary.

In emailer, it's accessible only through Applescript; unfortunately, it's a property rather than an element, so only the most recent reply is tracked. Ditto for forwards and redirects, BTW.
