Hi,

I have a script that creates a window (it's a Mail.app rule script) so it uses a command from the Mail.app library:

--------------------------------------------
set theWindow to make new message viewer with properties {visible:true}
--------------------------------------------

Now the window appears at the top of all windows, which is I assume the end of the list of (all or just Mail.app?) windows.


Well, its dictionary says "index integer -- The index of the window in the back-to-front window ordering" though window 1 is at the front and window 3 is at the back.


Another aspect of the problem is that the application class in the standard suite has two elements; document and window. However, the application class in the Mail suite has quite a few elements - neither document nor window is among them. Mail's application class contains an element called "Message viewer" and it has a window property. It's described twice:
window window [r/o] -- The window for the viewer
window window -- The window for the message viewer


I tried setting the index of the window of the message viewer. That succeeded, however the message viewer window is still visibly the front most regardless of its index.
