Title: Checking Mail actually sends mail

Hi all,

I’ve been using an AS which ends by sending out an email (the snippet hereunder is part of a subroutine), but somehow the sending either hangs and never happens, either Mail quits before an email gets sent...

How more frustrating can it get to notice that Entourage has better AS response than Mail ?

tell
application "Mail"
       set MessageSent to false
       set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject}
       tell newMessage
           set visible to false
           set sender to theSender
           make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:Photographer, address:theAddress}
           set html content to "<html><head><title>" & theSubject & "</title></head><body>" & "<i>Ceci est un message automatique.</i>" & theSource & "</b><br><br>Retrouvez votre planning personnel sur le web: " & thelink & "<br><br></body></html>"
       end tell
       repeat until MessageSent is true
           set MessageSent to messages of outbox is {}
           send newMessage
       end repeat
end tell

I have also noticed that my latest mod (which the script above reflects, where I use the length of messages in Outbox, instead of specifying set
MessageSent to send newMessage to get the boolean) seems to generate multiple mails in the OutBox (and that seems plain crazy)

Thanks to anyone who has even a vague idea how I could make this work better.

Best,

j.
