Styled text in Mail

I'm trying to copy the content of one piece of mail to a new piece of mail. Whenever I do so the new mail looses its styles. For instance, if the original message has a word in red, the color is missing in the newly created email.
All my attempts give the same, non-styled result even though both messages are styled as evidenced by the presence of "Make Plain Text" in the Format menu.
The Mail dictionary lists Class text: Rich (styled) text but not any other reference to another class of text.
Is it possible to extract styled text from an outgoing message?
Below is a test script and it's Event Log which creates a new outgoing message in which the word red isn't colored red as it was in the original message.
-Irwin
tell application "Mail"
set theID to outgoing message 1
properties of theID
set theContentStyled to content of theID as styled text
log class of theContentStyled
--==> (*string*)
set aMessage to make outgoing message with properties ¬
{true, theContentStyled}
set theContent to content of theID
log class of theContent
--==> (*Unicode text*)
set aMessage to make outgoing message with properties ¬
{true, theContent}
end tell
============================================================
tell application "Mail"
get outgoing message 1
outgoing message id 354155520
get properties of outgoing message id 354155520
{message signature:missing value, html content:missing value, true, subject:"", vcard path:missing value, outgoing message, sender:"Irwin Poche <email@hidden>", content:"This word red is actually colored red.", id:354155520}
get content of outgoing message id 354155520
"This word red is actually colored red."
(*string*)
make with properties {true, content:"This word red is actually colored red."} new outgoing message
outgoing message id 95637376
get content of outgoing message id 354155520
"This word red is actually colored red."
(*Unicode text*)
make with properties {true, content:"This word red is actually colored red."} new outgoing message
outgoing message id 79938384
end tell
