It didn’t. I am able to look at the plist directly, and `defaults read com.apple.mail` works as expected. I would have thought `defaults` was using `NSUserDefaults` internally, but apparently not. > A more supported way to get that info might be to query Mail's scripting > interface using an AppleScript or the scripting bridge API. Thanks, but Scripting Bridge requires Mail to be running. That’s not on option in this context. And I question whether Scripting Bridge is “more supported” than `NSUserDefaults`. :-) -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
