I get a fair number of emails from clients which could use a tad bit of
reformatting. (The emails more than the clients, generally.) I assumed
that since a script can alter the subject of a received message, then a
script should be able to change the body of one too. So, I tried the
following, but got the alert saying I couldn't alter a received message.
TL;DR How can I change the body of a received message? I tried:
tell application "PowerMail"
set msgList to the current messages
repeat with msg in msgList
set body of msg to pasteboard
end repeat
end tell
Any ideas?
Please feel free to laugh at my attempts to write AppleScript. :-7

While I haven't tried it, I think the same restrictions apply as they
would when you were editing the message manually. You cannot change the
body text (or anything else for that matter) of a received or sent
message; you have to copy it before you can make changes (to the copy).
