Yes, I need to process the contents of a new message. As far as I can tell, these *aren't* automatically saved to Drafts, which is why I was asking about processing text from the frontmost editor window... t'would seem to be a straightforward endeavor.

In Tiger, they are. I think they are first saved after 30 seconds or a minute, and then are continually saved as the message remains open. I haven't timed it.


But, as I said, they are also saved when you press command-S.

I'm going to try doing it with GUI Scripting so I don't have to remind the user to do anything but run a script (from the Dock perhaps).

Or the script menu.

Identifying which message in Drafts is the current (frontmost) one seems dicey (based on subject perhaps?)

Well, if messages are sent as soon as they are finished, there should be only one message in the draft folder at a time, but I realize that not everyone sends as soon as she finishes it.
