| Hello Santa;
I ran the script again with your amended line on a 'test' mailbox.
repeat with i from messcount to 1 by -1
It picked up all the relevant messages every time.
I noticed one anomaly though that probably has nothing to do with the changes you suggested.
The 'test' mailbox I used contained about 6000 messages going back to 2008. If I set the script to select old messages that may total 2 or 3 thousand messages in all the script would never complete. It looks like it just fails with no indication or error.
Limiting the message selection to around a thousand messages and things work as they should.
If I'm hitting some Applescript limit somewhere shouldn't it warn me somehow ?
Thanks once again.
Robert.
