Right.
I agree as well. Like most scriptable Mail clients, an attachment
should really be considered an element of a message. Although, when
you create a message manually with an attachment, Mail does seem to
insert the attachment into the content of the message.
Another thing that is interesting is that my code did not seem to
work in Panther, to my recollection. I'd need to test again to be
sure. I figured this all out a few weeks back, while working on a
forthcoming MacTECH article on scripting Mail.
Furthermore, I have found that there are still some oddities with
retrieving attachments in this manner. For example, Mail often seems
to incorrectly report attachments. For example, I just ran code to
retrieve the attachments of the content of a single message, one that
had 1 attachment, and this is what I got...
{application "Mail", «class attc» id "2" of message id 4208 of
mailbox "TEST" of application "Mail"}
Note the result lists two attachments, the first being the
application "Mail". Anyway, this is why I used a try statement in my
code, to basically ignore these "false" attachments.
