[a question for the OE experts on this list]
Why does this script work when telling to OE 5.0/MacOS 9.1, while it errors in the "save
" line when telling to OE 4.5/MacOS 9.0.4? (no non-Apple scripting additions in either system folder)
--begin script
set destfile to (file "Olivia:Desktop Folder:newfile") as file specification --Olivia is Startup Disk
tell application "Outlook Express 4.5"
set cm to current messages
set m to item 1 of cm
save m in (destfile) --> error when telling to OE 4.5, works with OE 5.0
end tell
--end script
the error message says:
"Outlook Express 4.5 got an error: incoming message id 65536 of folder 1 doesn't understand the save message."
error number is -1708 (<reference> does not understand the <command name> message.)
Any input is highly appreciated.
<sigh>
I am writing a script for a friend who refuses to upgrade OE, because v 5.0 stores it's mail file in the documents folder, as opposed to v 4.5, (Mail file in the app's folder). His Document's folder is a shared folder ("because it has ever been like that") in his office's LAN. He wants all his docs shared, *except* his OE mail.
I know, as well as he does, that one can un-share a subfoder within a shared folder.
He still dodesn't want to change any bit of his FileSharing setup. [Think different
]
</sigh>
again, any help is wery welcome!
