Hi AppleScripters,

{First..a little off topic
Hope all have recovered from the New Year. Our "beloved" Space Needle in Seattle is used annually to set off fireworks at midnight on New Year. Clearly, the genius in charge was either using a program run by "Vista" or not using Applescript :-) .....it ran about 2 minutes, then crashed. Could not be rebooted! In the end , was set off manually by someone ?clicking a mouse. I guess, the word BackUp never enters the vocabulary of the pyrotechnic community although I bet now it will :-)}

I wonder if I could get some help with this. I am trying to use the "Date" value of an email message. This is due to the fact that I need to expand my filter for finding some e-mails as I have found that there is a definite limit to the length of a selection one can make ( well, I think there is. I would gladly be corrected).
So, I am trying to include the date with something like:


tell application "Mail"
--tell message viewer 1
set msgs to every message of (mailbox "INBOX" of account "comcast") whose (message id is "email@hidden")
set firstMsg to item 1 of msgs
set myDate to date of firstMsg
--Do something with this value.
--end tell
end tell

This gives the error:
Mail got an error: Can’t get date of message id 101986 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "comcast.
Could anyone possibly explain what I am doing wrong...or where my thinking is not correct.
Thank you in Advance.
Michael.




(BTW....I seem to have problems when I use "message viewer" in that neither the mailbox "INBOX" by itself or with the qualifyer "comcast" is recognized.) _______________________________________________
