If you examine carefully PowerMail's dictionary in AppleScript Editor, you will
see that the type of "sender" is not "text", but "address"; address itself has
two text properties: "display name" and "email address". So the correct syntax
is something like this:
set theFD to return & "----------" & return
tell application "PowerMail"
set theMessages to current messages
repeat with msg in theMessages
set theSender to sender of msg
set theTitle to subject of msg as text
set theTime to time received of msg as text
set theBody to content of msg as text
set theText to (display name of theSender) & " " & (email
address of theSender) & theFD & theTitle & theFD & theTime & theFD & theBody &
theFD
set the clipboard to theText
end repeat
end tell
