In the Finder, the information window of an ".emlx" (email) file

number.
Does anybody know a way to extract this information by means of an
applescript?
yeah, the files are basically:
line 1: message length
line 2 through length from line 1: message content
everything else: a plist you can ignore
what you seem to want is trivially formatted in the headers of the message (so
you can ignore parsing the MIME formatted content);
I believe the finder is not parsing the file for this info.
right, Finder's displaying info from the Spotlight index; i didn't have
a technique for this on the front of my brain, but it turns out it's
pretty concise:
on get_emlx_subject(a_file)
set the_result to ""
if kind of (info for a_file) is "Mail Message" then
set the_path to quoted form of POSIX path of a_file
set the_result to do shell script "mdls -raw -name kMDItemSubject
" & the_path
end if
return the_result
end get_emlx_subject
set a_file to choose file
get_emlx_subject(a_file)
