Not a great idea to have properties that aren't listed in the dictionary. Maybe, mind you, it's not exposed in the dictionary because, as you said in your last message, " I don't think the GUID work was ever hooked up to mail messages." ? So what exactly is it in a message, then, and what are the implications of it being "not hooked up"? > Try out this script with a few > messages selected: > > tell application "Microsoft Entourage" > set cm to current messages > set g to "" > repeat with m in cm > set g to g & GUID of m & return > end repeat > set g to text 1 thru -2 of g > end tell > tell me to display dialog "" default answer g > > >> I think Scott >> would be pretty safe in searching for Message-ID, no? > > No. Some clients don't generate unique message IDs, and even if they did, a > user need only receive duplicate copies (for example Cmd-D of a message or > getting a reply directly and via a mailing list). Right. Both of those happen frequently. Perhaps Scott wouldn't mind getting only one copy, however. I'm starting to forget what he wants all this for. (Scott, have you checked out John Carlsen's eMessage Archiver? It does, I think, what you want, but in FMP., and a lot more. It also comes with a free runtime version of FMP for those who don't have a full version.) -- 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. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- 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/>
