It appeared to me out of the blue that on Tue Sep 27 08:56:40 2011, Luther Fuller wrote these pearls of wisdom: It seems that Mail does NOT return an empty list if there is no selection. Instead, selected messages of frontViewer incorrectly returns NOTHING if there are no selected messages.
It doesn't return nothing; it returns "missing value".
So you could write the script this way:
tell application "Mail" activate set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1) set msgList to (selected messages of frontViewer) if msgList is not missing value then set msgCount to (count items of msgList) else return end if end tell
By the way, if the front window is not a message viewer window, this line
set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)
returns this error:
error "Mail got an error: Container specified was an empty list." number -1730
So you might want to trap for that too.
