I have been thinking about something like this as well. Is there any way of creating a link to a particular e-mail?

If you use Applescript, each message does have it's own unique ID, but this is for the particular mailbox that' it's in. This means that:

A. If the message is moved to another mailbox it's ID changes
B. You'd have to store the message's mailbox as well as its ID in order to link to it and even so, this may change!


Does anyone know of a better way?

Mike.

Hello,

I want my app to support drag-n-drop with Mail.app, so that dropped messages become links in my document. When the user clicks the link, I want Mail.app to open and display the message. Any pointers on how to accomplish this?

I can query all sorts of information about the message, but it appears I can't determine the file containing the (original or cached) email. A spotlight search, by contrast, does something similar to what I describe above, but it does so by indexing the message files on disk directly.

Thanks,
Len.
