Interesting behaviour -- so interesting that we might even be able to persuade our author to take one of his rare strolls round the aete and put it right.

'Twould be nice, though talking everyone into upgrading makes converting cattle ranchers into vegetarians look easy. :)

Here's one of a number of possible workarounds:

tell application "Eudora"
set p to personality of front message
file of mailbox 1 in mail folder (name of p)
end tell

JD

Since I don't have IMAP working, I can't test the <<Dominant>> name.
However, 'file of mailbox [anything]' always gives me the In box file.
Wait -- I have a different problem now: I have to get the file on a separate line:

file of mailbox of message 0
--> "Can't get file of mailbox of message 0."

mailbox of message 0
file of result
--> "OSX:Users:boo:Documents:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:WWW:BAIUG:"

Wish I could get IMAP working, to connect to imap.cyrusoft.com. (Works from Mulberry, but I can't find the right settings for Eudora.)

thanks,
-boo


I've just discovered (after releasing Message Alias 1.1) that Eudora does not deal well with mailbox references outside of "Mail Folder" -- perhaps due to the "x of y" reference style not being able to represent backing up a level as pathnames can.

Is there any way (preferably not /too/ hacky, but it might have to be) to refer to the name of a mailbox outside the main hierarchy?

I discovered I can do 'name of mail folder 1 of mail folder "::Mail Folder"
...but if Eudora is giving a bogus reference to "" rather than "::IMAP Folder" then it's hard to say where the selected message really is, and the path components would error anyway so I still wouldn't be able to build the right path.

Any ideas?

get mailbox of message 0
--> mailbox "Inbox" of mail folder "<<Dominant>>" of mail folder ""
get name of mailbox "Inbox" of mail folder "<<Dominant>>" of mail folder ""
--> Eudora got an error: File some object wasn't found.
