Ah Ha! I opened the script in Lion and searched for "as unicode text" and "as text".
Every occurrence of "as unicode text" is inside a 'tell application "Mail"' block.
Every occurrence of "as text" is NOT inside a 'tell application "Mail"' block.
But, aren't 'text' and 'unicode text' equivalent?
Or should I replace 'unicode text' with 'string'? Or does it matter?
