I don't think you're going to get that to happen. Mail isn't designed that way.

Judging by the responses I got (or didn't) I must have phrased my question about scripting Apple's Mail program rather poorly. I'm going to try again.

When I read the mail, I double-click a message and it opens in a new window. The toolbar in that window shows buttons for "Delete," "Reply," "Reply All," "Forward," and "Print." I wish there were a button for "Next" and another for "Previous" but there isn't.

What I really want is to keep the message window open, and (somehow) move to the next message *in the same window.* I don't want to close the message window, and then double-click the next message. I just want to fill the message window with the next (or previous) message.

I might be able to do it if I could figure out the basic syntax for referring to the current message (the one that is frontmost). I have tried things like

tell application "Mail"
set x to the id of current message
end tell

but it doesn't compile.

Any hints?
