Mail on El Capitan – Message ID Ref Fails to Compile

Hey Folks,

What the bleep!

This works fine:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tell application "Mail"

set selectedMessageList to selection

if selectedMessageList ≠ {} then

set selectedMessage to item 1 of selectedMessageList

end if

end tell

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating on messages in the selectedMessageList is not a problem.

But the bare reference to a message fails to compile! (The very same reference that appears in the selectedMessageList.)

tell application "Mail"

message id 789225 of mailbox "Sent Messages" of account "listmeister" --> FAILS to compile

end tell

I'm assuming this is because of the message id property.

I need to refer to a specific message and copy it at need to my drafts mailbox.

Using a whose clause is not an option.

Is there a way?

TIA.

Best Regards,

Chris
