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.

My understanding is that message id has two meanings.

If I run this script :

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

tell application "Mail"

set selectedMessageList to selection

if selectedMessageList ≠ {} then

set selectedMessage to item 1 of selectedMessageList

message id of selectedMessage

end if

end tell

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

The events log display :

tell application "Mail"

get selection

get message id of message id 200567 of mailbox "forum AppleScript US"

end tell

Résultat :

"email@hidden" class="">email@hidden"

I highlighted the two occurrences of "message id" which are clearly different classes of objects.
