Lots of apps import it, but until Rich spoke up, I was under the 
impression they all used AppleEvents to handle it. 

I'm almost positive Outlook Express uses AppleEvents. Entourage may do it 
direct since jud spencer wrote Emailer's database and he worked on 
Entourage. On the other hand, rumor has it, jud was denied permission to 
use portions of Emailer's code in Entourage, so for safety, they may have 
also done that with AppleEvents.


A quick and dirty way to know if an app is using AppleEvents or not... 
does it need Emailer to be installed or can it just work with the 
database file. Outlook Express not only needs Emailer to be installed and 
accessable, but it starts Emailer during the import... that is an almost 
sure sign it is using AppleEvents to get to the mail.
