I gave you one. What else would you like to be able to do?
I don't see any Mail scripting bugs from you in our bug tracking
system. If you reported them, maybe it would get better. What you
have here is a bona fide bug that we'll look into. See, it wasn't
that hard now was it?
Cricket, I have filed eleven bugs this week and three of them are bugs
in Mail that happen not to be scripting bugs. If I were to file a bug
for every thing I found wrong with Mail's scripting, you'd have a list
a hundred items long and I'd get no work done. It would be pure
charity into the bargain, since I find Mail quite impractical for
everyday use and a thoroughly misconceived piece of software. I don't
seem to be alone in this opinion.
If someone asks a question about Mail scripting, please don't answer.
Your answers are almost always wrong and filled with a pathological
hatred of Mail that prevents you from giving an answer that is actually
helpful.
I will gladly handle any and all Mail scripting questions. This list is
to help people, not to inform the world of your dissatisfaction for
Mail. We know you don't like it. Now move on and let the list return to
its actual mission of helping people.
