Hi,
I believe your script will work.
However, I’d suggest you open the message  (open msgs) and remove the repeat.
In your code you say item 1 of (), so you will get only one item.
I’d also consider writing :

"set msgs to contents of  item 1 of”

I haven’t tried the script yet.

Best, be safe, wear mask, get vaccinated and keep social distance.
