And I somehow lost the context: Is there a particular reason not to use Mail's print command like

tell application "Mail" to print Window 1

or something similar before

click button 1 of sheet 1 of window 1

Yes!

What I'm trying to do is open a Mail document file (.emlx), then print it as PDF.
There are two ways to do this:
1 - Use Mail's 'print' command, then 'Save as PDF...' via a UI script; or
2 - Use a UI script to invoke menu 'Print...', followed by 'Save as PDF...'.

One would expect the same result from both ... but noooooo!

The two methods present different Print dialogs and the resulting pdf documents are different.
PDF documents created by method 1 have a smaller scale than the original, while method 2 creates documents with the same scale as the original.
