Capturing the "Return-Path" header information as text in Apple Mail?

Capturing the "Return-Path" header information as text in Apple Mail?


  • Subject: Capturing the "Return-Path" header information as text in Apple Mail?
  • From: Marc Glasgow <email@hidden>

As part of an extensive multi-application script, I need a small portion of it to capture the "Return-path" header contents within Apple Mail (v2.1.1) and churn it into a data format that I can use for a comparison value to ensure the message is valid. For the messages in question, the From field changes but the return-path never does.
While AS is (or appears to be) perfectly happy to supposedly capture the data using:


-- within Mail, having selected the message:
set SomeAddress to get header "return-path" of OurTestMessage
-- Event log say it got the header "return-path" of message id 168910 of mailbox "testing"


What I can't figure out is the data format that the returned data contains, or how to either coerce it into text/string/etc, or match the data format for the test in the next step of the script.

Any insight anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,
Marc S.A. Glasgow
