Re: opening email app in Windows

All I want is
to be able to activate the email app's frontmost window (which will
be the mostly-completed message).

Well, this isn't quite as easy as it might sound because each window in
Windows has its own "handle" which is (oddly enough) accessible based
on the
title in the titlebar of the window. You can also activate the window
if you
know what the process ID of the window is. In either case, you can
use this
code (which uses VBScript to do the dirty work):
on VBS_AppActivate pTitleOrID
put format("set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell
\")") into
tVBS
if isNumber(pTitleOrID) then
put tVBS & cr & "WshShell.AppActivate" && pTitleOrID into tVBS
else
put tVBS & cr & "WshShell.AppActivate" && quote & pTitleOrID & \
quote into tVBS
end if
put "C:\vbs_temp.vbs" into tVBSPath
put tVBS into url ("file:" & tVBSPath)
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
get shell("cscript.exe //nologo" && tVBSPath)
put it into tResult
if there is a file tVBSPath then
send "delete file" && quote & tVBSPath & quote to me in 1 second
end if
if tResult <> "" then return "Error: " & tResult
end VBS_AppActivate

Wow, this taps into stuff I know nothing about. Is there an easy way
to find out the window title or ID of the frontmost window for the
email app? I'm getting the sense I'd best leave well enough alone
here and forgo trying to get this minor feature implemented for
Windows....
