- plainText message (Unicode text) : The message of this content, in plain text (losing all formatting and embedded information).

- HTML message (Unicode text) : The message of this content, in HTML.

Also this is advertised in the dictionary, but the last 2 items don't work as expected :

tell the active chat of the first interface controller
set chatternaam to chat name
set chatid to ID
set chatdatum to date opened -> doesn't work !
set chatfoto to chat image -> doesn't work !
end tell

That "Doesn't work" means that this part doesn't work :-) haha
I do not get any value's returned for 'chat image' and 'date opened'.

That's talking about existing messages in the chat, not messages as they come in; also, it's almost certainly broken in Adium 1.0 (chats are no longer keeping track of their previous chat messages, so there's no way this information is accessible) so should be removed from the dictionary unless someone is willing to fix it. So if you're using the beta, yeah, the dictionary is lying.

I've never understood setting stuff to variables in Applescript. I find that sometimes you can use objects directly but not store them to a variable. What does 'doesn't work' mean in this context?
