I'm actually not trying to create an outgoing message, that seems to
work with
make new outgoing message
The app I am working on converts proprietary mailbox formats to mbox
format. I am using AppleScript to save the user from having to manually
import the resulting maiboxes and to take advantage of the fact that I
have extracted various other meta information (like whether the message
was read, replied to, etc...).
So what I am trying to do is populate a mailbox with messages that are
not meant to be sent.
On that note, it seems that apart from the very terse Mail dictionary
and the example scripts provided in /Application/AppleScript/Example
Scripts/Mail Scripts there is precious little in the way of
documentation of Mail's AppleScript capabilities. Does anyone from
Apple follow this list? Is there some document I have yet to find?

Thanks for the suggestions,
I had tried the mailbox as a property with no luck. I get an
NSArgumentsWrongScriptError although mailbox is not marked r/o and is
a property of message.
make new message with properties {subject:"test", contents:"this is a
test"} at end of mailbox (mailbox "test")
Gives me an NSContainerSpecifier error so I tried:
set theMBOX to mailbox "test"
make new message with properties {subject:"test", contents:"this is a
test"} at end of theMBOX
Which brought back the familiar NSInternalScriptError.
Does anyone know if this is possible with Mail, it seems Eudora and
OE can add mail messages using AppleScript, why can't the built-in
mailer?
Does Mail require outgoing/new messages to be in a specific location,
such as Drafts or Out?
