Pardon me...THAT'S NOT THE JOB OF MAIL.APP! If you are going to worry about
one program that requires a visible UI to run, and *ignore* the entire Unix
plumbing which will do what you are worried about faster, better, and *far*
quieter, then you may as well yank the dictionary *completely*, as if I
can't run a mail script without clicking on a bloody dialogue, then I'm
dumping mail for Entourage, mailsmith, PowerMail, or Eudora, which can
actually be *used* in an automation setting.
