I've been sending Mail messages from FileMaker (5.5) using AppleScript for a few years now, and have decided to get "fancy" and format the messages in HTML rather than plain text.

However, I can't figure out how to set the "Content-Type:" header using AppleScript ... or do anything else, for that matter, which tells Mail to display the message as HTML.

While I can get AppleScript to read headers from messages already received, attempting to set or read headers from a new outgoing message (as in the following script) throws an error ... what's up?

tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {sender:"email@hidden", subject:"test", content:"body" & return}
set theHeaders to the name of every header of newMessage
end tell

According to the mail.app dictionary; "header" is neither a property nor an element of "outgoing message"; further, outgoing message inherits only from item, and not from message.


If you modify the script to return the properties of the new message, you will not see a property header.
