Yes, but "date" is a data type; that doesn't mean that it is a
property of anything in an application; it could be, but it doesn't
have to be.
The date of a message is meaningless because a message has two dates:
the date sent and the date received. Each of those is of the data
type "date".
The Applescript Language Guide tells you about the built-in stuff in
Applescript itself, but it doesn't say a thing about any applications,
except for those it might use for examples. You need to read the
application's dictionary to find out what properties and commands the
application contains.
