Yep
It appears that one can put requests for operations on <message "">
(I think that's the same as <message 0>) into a loop.
the first message, the front message, message 1, message 0 and message ""
all denote the same object.
The way one keeps from repeatedly operating on the same message is
to move each one somewhere else...
wrong, it doesn't have to be else, just somewhere. It's not where it
seems to be anyway. That's just an illUIsion.
after the work on it is done. The try loop terminates with a
failure which can be trapped when there are no more selected items.
(The moved ones are no longer selected even if moved only to the
"end" of the current mailbox.)
Correct
So <message ""> really means "one of the currently selected
messages" and not "the message in the currently frontmost window".
Wrong. It means either the message in window 1 or the topmost
selected message in a summary window whose index is 1
That may be true only when the front window is a mailbox listing
but you're guessing. It may be true only when there is no message
open other than in a preview pane.
You've lost me. Sprechen Sie Englisch?
I too would really like to have the truth explained in a more
general way than with example code.
A common human desire!
I don't think we'll ever get it from Qualcomm and I don't
necessarily believe the guesswork above either.
What guesswork? It's clear enough. I can see where you might have a
problem but I'm not going to give you the solution till you pose the
problem. Then that bit will be clear too.
