Looks like you're doing everything correctly. My only suggestion

personally found to be much faster than the built-in 'write to file'
functionality.
See my message of this morning entitled
SOLVED! -- Saving Attachment from Mail.app
As I have already explained, if you read my replies to this message
(which quotes my original script), the slowness had nothing to do
with the write command which took 1/5 of a second in my test.
You will find if you run this script that the shell script method
takes about ten ticks. The osax method takes from o to 1 tick on my
machine.
set _ticks to {}
set t to (the ticks)
global f
set f to "" & (path to "desk") & "temp.txt"
tell application "Mail" to set s to source of item 1 of (get selection)
set t to (the ticks)
writesource(s)
set end of _ticks to (the ticks) - t
set t to (the ticks)
writefile(s)
set end of _ticks to (the ticks) - t
on writesource(s)
set theSavedClipboard to the clipboard as record
set the clipboard to s
do shell script "pbpaste > ~/Desktop/temp.txt"
set the clipboard to theSavedClipboard
-- then process with Stuffit Expander
end writesource
on writefile(s)
set f to open for access file f with write permission
write s to f
close access f
end writefile
return _ticks
