Mail.app dictionary

Hi everyone,

(Omitted speech about not being an engineer, and having made some dumb comments previously... Sorry & soforth)

From the Mail.app dictionary:

Class message: An email message
is deleted integer -- Indicates whether the message is deleted or not
is read integer -- Indicates whether the message is read or not

Normally, I would expect these properties to be boolean. Reminds me of "C". Am I wrong? I have come to expect being wrong. ;-)

Also,

this snippet doesn't return anything for me....
get date received of message 10 in mailbox 13 of account 1
is "date received" implemented? How can I tell when an item in the dictionary is not implemented?
And to continue this line of reasoning... I tried to find the "in use" properties of "message" thus:
get properties of message 10 in mailbox 13 of account 1
doesn't work, and I don't know if I should expect it to work or not. It would be useful, though, woundn't it? How can I get at the functional Mail.app properties without using trial and error?

Some time ago I realized this list is "mostly" engineers, AS implementors & high level scripters, whereas I am scripting for myself only. I feel grateful to this list for tolerating my posts. Please continue to be patient with me. I would be lost without the assistance of this list. Many thanks.

/Michael Turner
