Have found this add-on very useful in combination with message filtering to execute a script when an email of interest is received. Was looking to access the subject and body of a received email. %subject worked for the subject and discovered &msg_preview in an earlier review. It works when clicking on ‘Test these settings’ icon

“This is a test message body. There is not much to see here. Though one might notice the text being wrapped, while the original text is one line.
Your friendly neighborhood Extension Developer.”

But unfortunately not when an actual received email was tested. The parameter was empty in this case. If this was possible it would make for a very useful feature. It would allow a command file to take different actions dependent on the content of an email.
