However, you can't collect a set of messages by searching in AppleScript, and then display that set in a custom view. It would be nice, but you can't do it. I've wished, for example, that I could choose folder and then do something like "set x to every message of chosenFolder whose (content contains "keyword" and time sent < date "1/1/2004"), and then (making up the pseudo-code) "set displayed feature of main window to message-set x". There's no such beast.
Use Advanced Find to set your search up, save it as a custom view, and then write a script like the above to call it up any time you want it. That's all we've got. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
