The native OS X version of the Runtime Solution for eMA (to allow use of the program without FileMaker Pro) worked just fine, and I was able to test the program. Unfortunately, as Wayne predicted, the encoding for two-byte characters (messages in Japanese) was trashed, and all archived Japanese t

AppleScript help -- marking a message as read

I'm attempting to power up SpamSieve's "Add Spam" script. I already have it moving stuff to the trash for me. I'd also like it to mark the messages as read so the Mail Trash is not boldfaced. I've plowed through the PM script commands but cannot identify how to do this. A little help, please?
