Hi Matthew,

I just started looking into this this morning myself. What seems to work is:

try
tell application "Mail"
activate
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
tell menu bar 1
click menu item "Copy" of menu "Edit"
end tell
end tell
end tell

click menu item "Copy" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1 may work also. I was wondering if something like
menu item "1" of menu "2" would work. It doesn't seem to. I need to get prefab browser and look into it more.

Gary

I installed the UI Scripting beta software, and so Cricket's bit of code compiles without error, but when I run the following:
--
try
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
click menu item "Copy" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
on error the_error
display dialog the_error buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
end try
--

It returns "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4"

Any thoughts?
