Yes, it can. Read Chapters 8 and 9 in the AppleScript Language Guide. It's
not exactly an email-size topic. Also take a look at Smile.

It happens to be a freeware IDE for AppleScript, but it's the most
scriptable app on the planet because you can attach scripts that respond to
Apple events to its menus and objects. The second most-scriptable app is
BBEdit 6, which is a great text editor (especially if you write HTML) but is
not free.
