I don't *care* about why Cocoa applications can't have any organization. I
*do* care that every time I try to find a set of terms in *mail*, it's like
playing table tennis, and this makes scripting *harder* than it needs to be.

If the reason for this is Cocoa, then Apple needs to fix Cocoa scripting.
But I find it absolutely astonishing that there is no way to override this
inane lack of organization so that a beginning scripter can have all the
terms next to each other, in an easy to find group.
