Jim,

The message ID I am referring to is extracted like this:
-------

tell account "My account (Via Gmail)"

tell mailbox "work"

--count messages

set theMsgs to every message

count theMsgs

set msgnr to 1

repeat with theMsg in theMsgs...

...set theSub to subject of theMsg

set theDate to date received of theMsg

set theSender to sender of theMsg

set IsFlagged to flagged status of theMsg

set IsRead to read status of theMsg

set theID to id of theMsg....

---

Does this help clarify?

Thanks,
Shuba

What exactly is the message ID?  You mean, like 1240 (for 1240.emlx) and 8317 (8317.emlx) from INBOX.imapmbox or equivalent?  If so, it's not going to be fun.  And, if so, the version of Mail does matter.

Hi everyone,

I am writing a script to automate email handling using Apple mail. I have all steps before and after this figured out. If I can get the script to choose a message, I have the rest of the script which will act on that message in place. However, I am stumped at this point:

How do I *select* a message in the message viewer of Apple Mail given the message ID?

In case it makes a difference to your response, I am on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thank you,

Shuba
