Right...except then you hit all the other impediments to scripting, like a

As do all Cocoa applications. This is a problem that is not specific to Mail. Please try to check before spreading more disinformation. It's detracting from future work on Mail scripting to have to correct all your mistakes.

It's why I have AppleScripts that are usable in E'rage, and not in Mail.
Now, if you want to run a "Who can be the smarmiest git" contest in the
replies, I'll play, but it's such a waste of time I could be spending
hunting down related scripting properties that are not even close to each
other in Mail's dictionary.

I'm trying to educate people about Applescript. I have no idea what you are talking about with regard to this contest.

It's not a waste of time to actually read Mail's scripting dictionary, so I'm really saddened to hear you suggest that it is. If you would read it, it would save you the trouble of spreading information that makes it harder for those that are truly here to learn.
