Re: reference to selected message in OSX mail (again)

Hello Nigel,

Below is a quote from 'cricket' (very charming Apple engineer) which was sent to this list a while back. The basic answer is NO until Jaguar jumps onto the scene. I've made a request for Mail to be able to "get the selection" through the feedback form <http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/>. However, this is not quite the same thing as your request to "get" the selected message. What I need is the selection in the current message body. If I could get that reliably, I'd be a _very_ happy camper.



*********
In the next release of Mail (late summer), you will be able to get the selected messages using the 'selection' property on the application object. In 10.1.x, this is not yet implemented.

Good luck!

Hi,

I can get so far as to get a reference to the list of messages in a mailbox,
but what I would like to do is run a script on the selected message in a
mailbox.

trying "set theSubject to get subject of first message of mailbox of
theAccount" is ok

trying "set theSubject to get subject of selected message of mailbox of
theAccount" gives an error

Any hints?

Nigel.
