Because it's private.
Thanks mmalcolm :) This is indeed the crux of the problem!
By all means file a feature enhancement request if you want public
API;
Don't tell me that nobody did after all those years?!?
complaining that private API is undocumented and has been changed,
breaking your application, will not gain much sympathy.
Thanks for the moral support :)
To set expectations appropriately: I think we can be fairly sure that
private API will never be documented.
Indeed. On the other hand, Panther's Mail.app seems to be very
forthcoming about this: when detecting an old fashioned mailbundle it
will get out of its way to politely inform the user to find an updated
version of the bundle by contacting the unfortunate author... so... on
one hand this is a fabled private API... on the other hand "people"
have been extending Mail.app since the swinging days of NeXTmail (e.g.
Carl Edman's EnhanceMail and such) and everybody is aware of that...
so... what gives?
