How to save a message in Eudora?

Greetings. Eudora 5.2, OSX 10.2.

I want to save messages - just the text - to somewhere so I can operate on
them as part of a longer script.

Eudora has a save command; however, it doesn't seem to tell you where you
can save the message *to*. Without a destination, seems a bit pointless.

dictionary:
save: Save an object
save reference -- the composition message to save

Here's the script I've hacked up:
tell application "Eudora"
set m to a reference to message 0
set subj to field "Subject:" of message 0
set subj to characters 10 thru -1 of subj
--because otherwise you get a path that starts "Subject: " and the
colon could be bad news
set newfile to (((path to desktop) as string) & subj) as string
save m to newfile
end tell

I've tried all sorts of variations - save m to file newfile, etc etc. It
just doesn't like it.

Clues? I'm looking.


best
Charles
