Mail address bug


  • Subject: Mail address bug
  • From: Luther Fuller <email@hidden>

I was trying to find out why I was getting strange behavior with a Mail script involving a list of my email addresses. Addresses that should be there ... aren't. A list of my email addresses should look like this: {"fullerluther(2)alltel.net", "lutherfuller(a)mac.com", "lutherfuller(a)me.com"}.

 Here's the test script ...

tell application "Mail"
activate
--
set addressList to (email addresses of accounts) -- a list
end tell
activate me

count items of addressList
display dialog the result --> 2

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"#"}
display dialog addressList as text --> "fullerluther(2)alltel.net#lutherfuller(a)mac.com#lutherfuller(a)me.com"


More testing reveals that item 1 of addressList isn't text, but a list;
and item 2 of addressList is the list: {"lutherfuller(a)mac.com", "lutherfuller(a)me.com"}.


An error message tells me: Can't get item 3 of {{"fullerluther(2)alltel.net"}, {"lutherfuller(a)mac.com", "lutherfuller(a)me.com"}}. Which explains why addressList isn't behaving properly.

BTW, it was working properly as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

There must be a reportable bug here, but I'm not sure what's causing it or exactly what it is.

Any ideas?
