Note however that we're dealing with officially undocumented APIs here.
Apple's stance on that issue is somewhat ambivalent - on the one hand
some
of these APIs (including Message.framework) are advertised to developers
("includes APIS for sendig and receiving e-mail"), on the other hand
developers are strongly discouraged from using anything that's not
documented. In any case: If it's not official, it might break any time.
(Memorable quote from an Apple employee during WWDC: "No, you really
shouldn't use that private method, since we could change it any time. In
fact, I think I'm going to rename it just to annoy you." :) )
There is a difference between:
/System/Library/Frameworks/
and
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
I don't see any good reason why you couldn't use stuff inside
/System/Library/Frameworks/Versions/B/Header
s/NSMailDelivery.h since the headers are public.
A lack of documentation doesn't mean that you are discouraged from using
it.
