Nice approach for the user interface. Thanks!
I took your script and modified it for my purposes: to be used in Rules
rather than in draft windows. Now it gets the selected messages and does
it's thing in the background and my initial tests have worked. The changed
code is below -- feel free to use it. (you could make a version that
modifies the draft window and is also is used for Rules...)
-- JX
The "do it" section now looks like:
else -- an acct property exists, so do it
-- get the currently selected message or messages
set selectedMessages to current messages
-- if there are no messages selected, warn the user and then quit
if selectedMessages is {} then
display dialog "Please select a message first and then run this
script." with icon 1
return
end if
repeat with theMessage in selectedMessages
set account of theMessage to replyAcct -- here we do the actual change
end repeat
end if
