Having built a(n AppleScript) system based on the premise that open location "message://<xyz>" opens the appropriate email in Mail, suddenly Mail's started to return the less than helpful error: "No associated application could be found.". Can anyone suggest a way of getting this functionality back please?

If anyone has a rational explanation as to what's going on here, it'd be much appreciated.


Sorry -- rationality is only available on Fridays after 5pm…

So, a doh moment I guess. The message ID I was working with had a percent symbol in the ID - this needs URL encoding. Philip's link was plain so it worked. It was only when I looped through 20 odd IDs that the fog cleared.


HTH someone.
