That sounds awfully stuffy of me. I forgot to insert a smiley after "rather
foolish". ;-)
Actually, I get around this possibility of confusion of the single item list
for 'current messages' when it means 'message filtered by a rule' with the
message itself - by simply leaving out any variable for the list and doing
it all in one line:
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
You never need to refer to the list that way. You _do_ need the explicit
'get' for 'current messages' and for 'selection' (the only two properties
anywhere in Entourage where that's the case).
