(It doesn't look as if anyone else checked the dictionary either. ;-)) Quite right, there's no AppleScript GUID property of message (which raises the question, David, as to what you meant by "two messages in my identity with the same GUID"?) The GUID property is implemented only for event, task, note, project, contact, and group. Are you referring to Message-ID as it appears in the message headers, David? I thought that those were always unique, and could be parsed from the 'headers' property. But I don't know how they're generated. Since every person in the world who sends email has an email client generating these Message-IDs according to some pattern (there must be an RFC?), it's quite possible that sooner or later you'd get a duplicate no matter how random the generation is within the formula. But that would be very rare. I think Scott would be pretty safe in searching for Message-ID, no? -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
