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.
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
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.
