I have not found that I can use smart folders, I can not find any action where a smart folder is an object

I have used smart folders to do my stuff, but it is very tedious. They have to be created manually, GUI scripting for them sucks. And this is something that I have to do every day ... or almost every day, catching up on those that have not been done previously. This is why I am attempting to do this with AS

I am about to bail and do this in perl, at least the email messages are in the filesystem ...

Make a smart folder in mail with beginning and end dates. Then you can move the mails you want into "x" folder.

Are smart folders scriptable? I can't find them in a mailboxes list

CAREFUL!

A Smart Folder is NOT a folder and it is NOT a mailbox.

A smart folder is a property list document. It has the format of a .plist file but has a .savedSearch extension.
If you want to see the internal format of a smart folder, drag & drop it onto the Property List Editor.app in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/
