Scripting mail.app

I finally switched to OS X, and for the time being am using mail.app. (I tried Powermail and have too many issues with it.)

The dictionary doesn't seem to be of much help. How do I access a received message?

With a message open and in the front window, I find

get message of front window
returns an error

get document of front window
returns nothing, not even an empty list

however,
get name of front window
returns the window's name.

I'm trying to write a script that will remove quote carets from the front of each quoted line of text. I wrote one for emailer, so I figure to modify the code to access the message, and use the same code that does the stripping.

any help would be apreciated.

Thanks,

--Michelle
