Title: Re: What folder? [Short Script]

On or near 12/13/00 12:09 PM, I observed:

Dennis has pointed out that the current folder can be revealed by clicking on the Move menu (it's the top item with a bullet next to it). That is great!

However, in the meantime I wrote that script I mentioned, and added the ability to OPEN the enclosing folder with the current message selected. Thus, if you are viewing a Custom View with messages from many folders, and have a message open, you can run this script. It will tell you what the current folder is and ask if you want to open it. This gives a fast way to get to related messages, something I often need to do.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    if class of the front window is message window then
        set theMsg to displayed feature of the front window
        set x to storage of theMsg
        display dialog "This message is stored in folder: \"" & name of x & ¬
            "\"" & return & "Do you wish to open it?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
        if button returned of result is "Yes" then
            open x
            set the selection to {theMsg}
        end if
    else
        beep 2
    end if
end tell
