I've been trying to find a way for this AppleScript (or something like it) to work:

tell application "Mail"
set theContent to the content of the front window
end tell

But it appears that there's no way to target the front window of Mail, including in the 10.6 version of Mail.

Message windows belong to a Viewer Window not the application. Try this ...

tell application "Mail"
set frontViewer to (message viewer 1)
set theMsg to message 2 of frontViewer
content of theMsg
end tell
