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

Thanks for the info Jérôme. I've done so little AppleScript programming that I
didn't really understand what to do with the properties.

I'm a newbie with Powermail, that I've chosen after Eudora - Mail -
Thunderbird and some other client.
So, perhaps this question is already known. If so, I apologize.
Is not possible to add a digital photo to sender's address?
thankyou very much
