Given either unique identifier for a message, how do you find it? Nothing I have tried works. Al I want to is find it and open it up.


If you keep your 'locate' database up to date, you could investigate the following idea:


--
tell application "Mail"
    set s to item 1 of (get selection)
    set theID to id of s
end tell
set f to do shell script "locate " & (theID & ".emlx")
set m to POSIX file f
tell application "Finder" to open m
--

I have no idea whether this is a 'good' or 'recommended' approach, though. :-)

Does Spotlight index the names of the individual mail files?

cheers

Pete
