Help with saving Mail message as Raw Message Source

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode
#1

G’day

I’ve struck a problem in that a ASObjC script that uses the GUI to save a copy of a Mail Message runs very, very slowly. I runs at less than a second in vanilla Applescript, but over 15 seconds in my ASOObjC project. Time saving is essential.

So, I’m trying to save the opened email directly, but can’t get the terminology right.

Any advice, please?

Regards

property pathtodesktop : path to desktop as text
property printDateTimeName : (current date) as text

tell application "Mail"
	activate
	open message 1 of inbox # mailbox "* items to manually process"
	# DOESN'T WORK
        save window 1 in ((path to desktop) & printDateTimeName & ".eml" as rich text) as native format
	save window 1 in ((path to desktop) & printDateTimeName & ".eml" as rich text) as Raw Message Source
	try
		close every window
	end try
end tell
