Scripts that hint to me that it's possible to do the most basic thing
in Mail -- to get the contents of the message in the front window!
This is what I used to get the content of the message I'm currently
composing to you and the list:
tell application "Mail"
set theCurrentWindowTitle to name of front window
set theMessages to every outgoing message whose subject is
theCurrentWindowTitle
set theMessage to item 1 of theMessages
get content of theMessage
end tell
Not 100% safe, but it works.
Now all this seems so utterly unbelievable that I must be missing
something very important and I look forward to enlightenment from the
list and a script not exceeding 100 lines that will enable me to get
the content and other properties of the message in the front window as
you can in any sane application.
I did it in 6 and I was being verbose! ;)
We do need to wire up the window class to have a document property,
such that you can get the contents more easily than this. I'll make
sure we get it done.
