In Eudora, "message 0" is the first selected message. If you want to
transfer messages then you can repeatedly reference message 0,
transfer it, reference message 0 again etc.
Eventually, you'll get an error when all the selected messages have
been transfered.
"message 0" is valid syntax, it's the way to refer to a currently
selected message, no matter which mailbox it's in.
Correct.
Perhaps you could move them to the beginning or end of the mailbox
temporarily, and then message 0 will become another member of the
selection.
That's how JD's script (submitted previously) works. When the message
is moved to the end of its current mailbox, a complete message
reference is obtained and added to a list (ls). You can then work
through the list and do what you like to each message, even though it
is no longer selected. The script submitted by Chris Stone is very
similar.
With messages selected, run the following script and then inspect the
result (no harm will be done to the selected messages, other than
moving them to the end of their current mailbox and de-selecting
them).
tell application "Eudora"
set ls to {}
set w to the name of the front window
try
file of mailbox w
on error
tell me to display dialog "A mailbox summary must be frontmost" with icon 0
return
end try
repeat
try
set end of ls to move message "" to end of mailbox w
on error
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
repeat with m in ls
-- do something to m -- m is a complete message reference
end repeat
ls
end tell
-- Rob
