This is what I am looking for, that the address-user is recognized in the body of the mail the same way it is in the recipient box, with icon, that way, as the contextual menu already allows us, we can delete from the body. > >write an AppleScript that combines this with >a check for the static "Mail returned: user unknown" subject lines, or >"permanent fatal errors" or "user unknown". One problem with returns from the larger ISP's is that there can be many returns on one mail for a variety of reasons (mailbox quota full etc.) in addition to user unknown or permanent fatal error. One script might end up deleting all included addresses because of one key-word. In addition, to prevent accidental deletions from the mailbox, PM already includes the ever-present warning before deletion, "cannot undo". Simply recognizing iconized users in the body as such, would do it. > if I'm not bastardizing what you meant to communicate... not at all...
