The following command has always worked for me (under both Tiger and Leopard). Today it just sits there and times out (on Leopard).

tell application "Mail"
set x to content of message 1 of mailbox "AS-Users" as text --(as well as message 2, 3, 4 just to make sure it wasn't just one of the messages)
end tell

For what it is worth, it works for me.

BTW, "as text" is not necessary; content is text.

"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."
