Michelle,
I wrote to Dylan just a second ago, and I am writing to you now.
In both cases I replied using the script (ipsis literis) that was sent by Dylan.
What seems to be the problem?

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in the reply verb? If it's the latter, I'm happy to file a bug report (while grumbling loudly because this kind of thing seems to happen every time I try AppleScript).

It's a long-standing bug, and has been reported. But the more bug reports for the same bug, the better chance there are of it getting fixed. But don't count on it getting fixed in Tiger.

The script does fire up a reply message in Mail, but then can't do anything with it (say fill in the content, or anything else) -- because the reply verb didn't hand the script back a handle to the new outgoing message. So you have to manually fill in the content, etc., which is what I'm hoping to automate.

(ps: I didn't get the reply you wrote to me...hmmm.)
