It's worth remembering that some aetes were written in the days when 
AppleScript was fun to write:


tell application "Eudora"
   set _message to a reference to the front message
   tell (forward the _message)
     set field "to" to "[log in to unmask]"
     set return receipt to true
     queue for (current date) + 3600
   end tell
end tell

In Mail you can't even get a reference to the message in the front window!
