An earlier thread identified this problem as an bug in "Cocoa":
I found this inconvenient myself.

which returns null every time I attempt to use it. I >> think it is
broken, can anyone confirm?

I'm trying to export email messages from Apple's Mail application (Mac0S
10.1.3). I can extract the subject, sender, and content of messages
without
problems, but am having problems extracting the date. To be precise, the
script
Tell application "mail"
set this_date to date received of message 1 of mailbox 1 of account 1
Set this_date to this_date as string
End tell
Returns an error message complaining that this_date hasn't been defined.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could offer any advice.
