I have an applescript which captures a list of email recipients, and then saves it to a global variable in FMPro, all defined as an Apl script in a FMPro script.

Hey John,

I don't have FMP to test with, so I have no idea where that failure is occurring, but...

tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to selection
set theEmail to last item of theMessages
tell theEmail
set personList to (name of recipients of theEmail)
set personList to personList & (name of to recipients of theEmail)
set personList to personList & (name of cc recipients of theEmail)
end tell
end tell

You're already telling theEmail, so the underlined portions are unnecessary.

Also - recipients includes to recipients, cc recipients, and bcc recipients - so you have quite a bit of redundancy here.

And the result is a list containing every name twice.

tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to selection
set theEmail to last item of theMessages
tell theEmail
set personList to name of recipients
end tell
end tell

is doing the job flawlessly.
