It doesn't work because there's no such thing as 'window of a message' in
AppleScript. Nor is there any guarantee that every selected message will
even have a window since messages can be selected without being opened. The
'link' between messages ands windows is that a message window has a
'displayed message'. Also that you can narrow in on just those windows whose
class is 'message window' (meaning saved messages, not draft windows). The
simplest thing might be just to forget about current messages and look for
'every message window' and set the bounds of each. If you want to do a check
that it is also a selected message (I'm not sure you'd have to) then you'd
check to see if the window's displayed message is in the list of
selectedMessages. Don't forget to put the window in {list braces} when doing
this check.
