Dan,
As you indicate, this isn't something one does frequently. However, I find
that custom views with messages from multiple folders pose a similar
problem. They list the folder, but often what I want to do is find other
(related) messages in that same folder. Then, I use this script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" --
set currentMessages to the selection --
repeat with theMsg in the currentMessages --
my ProcessMsg(theMsg) --
end repeat --
end tell --
on ProcessMsg(theMsg) --
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set aFolder to storage of theMsg
(open aFolder) in window 1
on error theErr
display dialog theErr
end try
end tell
end ProcessMsg
It opens the parent folder in a separate window. You could easily adapt this
script to display dialog and show the folder name instead. I'm not sure how
it would behave with a list of mixed items, but I think it would work fine
if you pre-select just messages. As it stands you would get an error such as
"Can't get storage of..." for anything other than a message.
