I am attempting to script mail to transfer data to another

"content" command handles 'some' (but not all) HTML messages.

When I send myself a HTML message and ask for "content" there is no
problem, so I'm having a lot of trouble getting a handle on the
problem of why some HTML messages gladly give up their content to
AppleScript and some HTML messages do not, and how to identify the
boogers ahead of time.
I wrote a shareware AppleScripted application named "Mail Saver"
which contains the following paragraph in the documentation ...
Messages with HTML content
Messages can have content of various types, including HTML. HTML
content often displays images which are located on a remote server
and are neither attachments to the message nor stored on your
computer. (If you uncheck the Display remote images in HTML messages
box in Mail's Viewing Preference, these messages show a Load Images
button.) If you save such a message using Mail Saver, the images may
no longer be available when you next open the file. The only reliable
way to save a messages with remote HTML images is to use Save as
PDF... in the Print dialog.
Perhaps when the 'content' encounters image content that's not there,
it has a problem. Do the problematic HTML messages contain (remote)
images?
