Just a warning, I hope. There is a defined "Message-id:" in every email message. It's assigned by the first mail transfer agent that finds a message without one. The ID is more or less random but guaranteed to be unique.

The header in your posting looks like this:

Message-id: <CABp1hQ-0WPahSAUTZWw2tNKmOy-1F=email@hidden>

I'm fairly sure that the id property is a unique id generated by Mail for each scriptable object, not the Message-id from the header. I haven't scripted Mail for a long time, but I suspect you just "reveal" the message or something like that.

reveal message id theID
