What’s Wrong With AppleScript

This simple script gives away one of the major problems with [AppleScript](http://www.apple.com/applescript/): sometimes it just doesn’t work. This script gives no errors, but does not set the subject of the message:
tell application "Mail"
set theMsg to item 1 of (the selection as list)
set subject of theMsg to "Hello"
set theSubject to subject of theMsg
set subject of theMsg to "Hello"
set theSubject to subject of theMsg
end tell
While this script returns a helpful `NSInternalScriptError` from Mail:
tell application "Mail"
set theMsg to item 1 of (the selection as list)
set theContent to content of theMsg
set content of theMsg to theContent
set theContent to content of theMsg
set content of theMsg to theContent
end tell
