Michelle,
Thank you.
Could you please explain something to me.
This is from AppleScript developer site(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/applescript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScript.2d.html
)
Here "date" is defined and discussed. I assumed, incorrectly, that if
something is defined for Applescript, then it should be supported by
all scripted programs, with additional "narrower" definitions in the
dictionary. But, obviously not? :-)
Michael.

Could anyone possibly explain what I am doing wrong...or where my
thinking is not correct.
As previously suggested numerous times, check the dictionary. The
dictionary is your friend; it tells you what properties and elements
there are.
Messages do not have a "date" property. The do have a "date sent"
and a "date received" property.
tell application "Mail"
tell item 1 of (get the selection)
display dialog "Date received: " & (date received as text)
display dialog "Date sent: " & (date sent as text)
end tell
end tell
