I'm not a Appscript expert but, taking a clue from an earlier answer[1]
by has, it appears that there is something problematic about the 10.6
Mail.app scripting terminology. You can see also see that by trying to
the ASTranslate.app tool available from the appscript web site.
One way to work around it is to use the lower-level aem API to construct
a reference using the raw AE codes.
>>> from appscript import *
>>> import aem
>>> mail = app("Mail")
>>> msg = mail.selection()[0]
>>> msg
app(u'/Applications/Mail.app').mailboxes[u'In/InMail'].messages.ID(206990
)
>>> aemref = msg.AS_aemreference.property("attc")
>>> attachment = mail.AS_newreference(aemref)
>>> attachment
app(u'/Applications/Mail.app').AS_newreference(app.elements('mbxp').bynam
e(u'In/InMail').elements('mssg').byid(206990).property('attc'))
>>> attachment()[0].properties()
{k.name: u'20100925_005-001.jpg', aem.AEType('attp'): u'image/jpeg',
aem.AEType('atdn'): True, k.class_: aem.AEType('attc'),
aem.AEType('atsz'): 387441, k.id: u'2'}
Hope that helps.
