我无法使用Applescript在一组选定的电子邮件中（在Mail.app中）选择“第一条消息”…

Question

So I can iterate through a group of emails to using:

repeat with eachMessage in emailSelection
        log content of eachMessage
        set theContent to content of eachMessage
    end repeat

Yet when I try to arbitrarily select one, say the first one in the set, I get an error

        set newContent to content of first message in emailSelection

returns:

( Can't get message 1 of {message id 740166 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 740165 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 739792 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 740164 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 738259 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 738258 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail", message id 738257 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "IMAP PL" of application "Mail"}. )

I want to select the first object in the set of emails but it seems to be trying to identify an email message id of "1" which obviously is not included in the set of selected emails.

You need to reference emailSelection as a list using the item keyword.

eg,

set newContent to content of (item 1 of emailSelection)

or

set newContent to content of (the first item of emailSelection)
