Answering my own question…

The incantation should have been:

tell application "Mail" set x to content of message 1 of mailbox "Testing" as text --the magic "as text" words since "content" returns Unicode text and my test failed for that reason end tell

set y to character 1 of x --text 1 of x fails when class of x is string (?, I don't understand why?)

y is "?"
--> true
