Perhaps I asked the wrong question.  Here's the deal.


For some reason, I dont always have a "message viewer 1". So I create a new one. But that new viewer isn't always "message viewer 1" I thought I could reference the viewer by its ID but apparently not.


So when I create a new message viewer, what is its number? When I say "tell message viewer X" how do I know what to replace x with?

I'm confused; there is a message viewer 1 on my system. For example, this works:


tell application "Mail"
	set x to make new message viewer
	set y to message viewer 1
	sort column of y
end tell

But you don't need to replace x with anything; you can can refer to the window by its ID, which is x. The following script yields the same results as the one above:

tell application "Mail"
	set x to make new message viewer
	sort column of x
end tell

That said, "properties of x" (or "properties of y" in the first example) does not work; apparently "properties" is broken for message viewer. I just submitted a bug report.
