Hello Phil,

Indeed, just running this one here (on 10.10.5):

	tell application "Mail" to set preview pane is visible of first message viewer to true

raises the same error message and interestingly writes the following to system.log:

	Mail[338]: An exception was thrown during execution of an NSScriptCommand...
	Mail[338]: [<MessageViewer 0x7f9614077170> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key previewPaneVisible.

A bit as if a show/hide switch had been hastily adapted to an environment wherein the height of the preview pane has become the relevant parameter.


> Any thoughts on how to move the split view divider (without invoking Sys Events and GUI scripting) in Mail to hide/unhide previews?

Unfortunately no, since other properties of message viewers (especially the "visible messages" one) seem to be broken the same way. :-(

Axel
