Hi Lars,
You understood it correctly, when I did exactly as you did in the
screencast I continue to get the inbox link when using the applescript API
for currentUrl even with the message window in front. Using the script in
my earlier post I get the same behavior shown in your screencast though.
Perhaps it is a difference in version of Mailplane, or version of the
script? I'm using mailplane 2.5.10 (#8007), and had what I thought was the
current version of the Mailplane OmniFocus plugin which accessed the URL by
the following method.
tell application "Mailplane"
set MyPageTitle to currentTitle
set MyURL to currentURL
set MyBrowserURL to currentBrowserURL
end tell
Am I somehow out of date?
