Oooh, name of IMAP folder. :D
Do you use the nickname file because "Eudora Folder" is subject to
change? Or is that for some other configurational reason?
It's the only file that is certain to live directly in the Eudora Folder.
tell application "Eudora"
set w to name of window 1 as Unicode text
Is there a good way to handle whether the frontmost window is the
message or the mailbox with the message row selected? I mean when
Eudora is erroring due to mailbox location (it's easier when Eudora
tells the truth, of course).
if setting 32628 is not "%p (%p)" then return beep
That must be a post-5.1 setting...
Ah! TIme to update then. An IMAP mailbox has the name of the IMAP
account in brackets after the mailbox name, so that will make your
task easier.
set ls to do shell script "perl -e '$s =qq~" & w & "~;
@ls = split /\\(/, $s;
for (@ls) {chop} ; print join $/, @ls ;'"
set {_mbx, _personality} to paragraphs of ls
try
name of personality _personality
on error
return "Not an IMAP mailbox"
end try
{_mbx, _personality}
end tell
etc.
I'm not sure what all that's about?
It gets the name and personality of the mailbox from the window name
a la 6.0, so you really have all the pieces of the jig-saw puzzle.
As an aside, I read quite a lot of spleenful messages in various
forums from people using old versions of Eudora or the free/sponsored
version inveighing against Dorner & Co for not perfecting Eudora to
their liking. If all these people were to pay the ridiculously low
price of Eudora, it would create the resources to make the
improvements needed. Eudora is an amazing piece of software and many
people, like me, spend more time in Eudora than in an other
application and use it more or less as a control center. It's easy
to use Eudora in sponsored mode because the ads are so discreet and
unobtrusive -- it might be a good idea if the ads were scheduled to
get bigger and bigger and more and more distasteful as time went on
:-).
