You seem to be exempt from the NDAs that everyone else has to sign. How do
you manage that? This is about the 10th time you've written to this list
exposing the fact you're using a pre-release version of Mail, and you
usually include all sorts of particulars such as new commands, and so on.
Others who may have the same software don't respond because this isn't an
NDA list. Maybe you're testing to see if anyone minds? It doesn't appear
that anyone from Apple or elsewhere cares, although it must be a trifle
annoying for some who have only release software.
Paul, I'm sure I would have had my knuckles rapped if anyone thought
I was deliberately disclosing things that had not been put in the
public domain by Apple themselves. I am most careful not to discuss
the beta program in any public forum.
It was only yesterday that I realised that I if I drop the released
version of Mail onto Script Editor (1.9 or public beta), I get the
dictionary of the latest version installed. It was only when people
said that 'on perform mail action....' threw an error that I realised
that the wording had been changed from the unlikely "on
perform_mail_action....", which has not been mentioned on the list
for over 5 months. I then realised, by firing up another machine,
that there have been certain modifications to 'rule' in the
dictionary. It was certainly a slip to mention these new or altered
properties, and I would not have made it if I had realised the
dictionary I was working with was not that of the released version.
As to the scripts menu

and there are other mentions of it. I have carefully disclosed
nothing that is not known about the scripts menu except to say that
it's "very nice".
If I have to answer to anyone for inadvertently referring to terms in
Mail that "do not" exist", then it certainly is not to you, Paul, and
if you'd like to send me a list of my crimes off list I'll do you the
courtesy of reading it but don't expect me to walk off into the woods
and slash my wrist.
