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

Here's a snippet of code that I use ...

tell application "Mail"

activate

try

set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)

on error

my showInstruction("A message viewer window must be open and frontmost in Mail.")

return

end try

set msgList to selected messages of frontViewer

try

if (count items of msgList) = 0 then error

set selected messages of frontViewer to {item 1 of msgList}

on error

my showInstruction("You have not selected any messages to save.")

return

end try

In this snippet, item 1 of msgList is of class 'message' where msgList is a list of messages.

I don't know if you can do the selection if all you know is the message id, however,

at some point in your script you had to have a line of code like this ...

set msgID to (id of msg)

Keep msg around so you can select the message.
