An old message on this subject came up with this, among other, solutions for this problem.

activate application "Mail" tell application "System Events" tell process "Mail" get value of attribute "AXSelectedText" of text area 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1 end tell end tell

However, this works only on incoming messages in the three panel view. It does not work if the message is displayed in its own window, nor in an outgoing message.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a universal solution, or at least one for an outgoing message?
