Any help from others on the list about how I can "write" the CC field of the current open Mail message would be greatly appreciated.

This is possible when scripting the creation of a new outgoing message, Peter. The following, for example, should work:


--------------

tell application "Mail"
	set new_message to make outgoing message ¬
		with properties {subject:"test", visible:true}

	tell new_message to make cc recipient ¬
		with properties {address:"email@hidden"}
end tell

--------------

However, a problem arises with messages that have been created manually, or have been saved, closed and then reopened. I'm afraid it's just one of a number of Mail scripting issues.

Until the situation improves, you might like to try a workaround that relies on GUI scripting (which should therefore be enabled):

--------------

set CC_address to "email@hidden"

tell application "System Events" to tell process "Mail"'s window 1
	tell text field 1 of scroll area 2 to if exists then
		set value of attribute "AXFocused" to true
		set value of attribute "AXValue" to CC_address
	end if
	tell scroll area -1 to if exists then ¬
		set value of attribute "AXFocused" to true
end tell

--------------
