(1) It's a misunderstanding. "This" in the quote referred to Frank Eves' wish to insert the contents of a text file into a message, not to rebuilding or archiving. IMHO, those are not tasks quite suitable for AppleScript. (2) Andreas Amann wrote several scripts <http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/MailScripts.sit> to handle tasks in Mail.app, and one of them does some basic archiving. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know how well it performs, but you might wish to give it a peek. f
