Hi,

and thanks for the reply. Though, meanwhile, I found the reason for the problems
myself.
The problem was that I am a newbie to Applescript and didn't realize that the
"r/o" in the
dictionaries mean "read only" and this is the case for the "flag"- as well as
other
properties. So there's no (obvious) way to flag an article, it might be possible
via GUI-
Scripting or sending raw Apple-events, but that's far too much hassle at the
moment for
what I wanted to try out. Just spent several hours to find out how to format an
Apple-
event for Apple-mail and that gave me headaches enough for one day :-)

Greetings,

Stephan
