Mail Recipients

While trying to fix a problem in a script, yesterday, I encountered a problem (bug?) in Mail.

I noticed that messages copied into the Finder showed a comment like this …

missing value <name@address>

These comments are recent, so I presume that they started appearing after I upgraded to Lion.

I fixed my script to avoid the "missing value" (I just leave that blank), but I can't avoid Mail returning missing value for the name of a recipient. Something seems to be wrong with Mail.

Here is the script I used for testing in Smile …

tell application "Mail"

set selMsgList to selection

set msg to (item 1 of selMsgList)

set recipientList to (to recipients of msg)

set recipientList to recipientList & (cc recipients of msg)

set recipientList to recipientList & (bcc recipients of msg)

set recipientText to ""

repeat with i from 1 to (count items of recipientList)

(item i of recipientList)

((name of the result) as Unicode text) & " <" & ((address of the result) as Unicode text) & ">" & return

set recipientText to recipientText & the result

end repeat

end tell

log recipientText & return

I have a message which logs "missing value <email@hidden>",

but the message, when viewed in Mail shows "Fuller X Luther <email@hidden>".

The "X" was added to my Address Book a few minutes ago as a test. (and will soon be removed)

Mail seems to be looking-up names in the Address Book and, perhaps, returning 'missing value' when the look-up fails.

One message logs "missing value <email@hidden>",

but the message displays "Applescript Users <email@hidden>".

Other messages do log recipients correctly, for example:

AS Users List <email@hidden>

applescript Users <email@hidden>

None of these matches my Address Book (which shows "AppleScript Users").

Has anyone seen this? Have any ideas?
