I was going to send directly to Tim, but it appears that TIm’s Mail address
needs to be spoofed by Google Groups.
Below is the text of an apple script that hides the preview pane in Classic
view on It starts with a use statement that tells Apple Script to use system
events library. This library requires that accessibility permissions be given
to the script, so the best thing to do is create a new file in Script Editor
and then save it as an app.
There are three functions “run” the main routine, that adjusts the scroller
position.
isMessageViewer that finds the splitter to adjust.
GetMessageViewer which looks for a primary window in mail and creates one if
there is not one.
use sysEvents : application "System Events"
on run
tell application "Mail" to activate
set ProperWindow to isMessageViewer()
if ProperWindow is equal to false then return false
-- Splitters have Maximum Value and minimum values that specify the
rage of the value field.
set maxvalue to maximum value of ProperWindow
set value of ProperWindow to maxvalue
end run
on isMessageViewer()
local viewer
set viewer to getMessageViewer with MoveToFront
-- We won't actually use this returned window, but get it from System
Events window 1 instead .
-- Get the splitter between message list and message details.
-- The splitter groups have three elements with the middle UI element a
splitter.
set PrimarySplitter to splitter 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group
1 of window 1 of process "Mail"
log {class, maximum value} of PrimarySplitter
return PrimarySplitter
end isMessageViewer
to getMessageViewer given MoveToFront:mtf
local viewer, viewerCount
log (mtf)
tell application "Mail"
set viewerCount to count of message viewers
if viewerCount is equal to 0 then
set viewer to make new message viewer
else
set viewer to message viewer 1
end if
if mtf then
activate application “Mail" -- Make sure Mail is active
set index of window of viewer to 1 -- Make selected
viewer window Frontmost
end if
return viewer
end tell
return viewer
end getMessageViewer
