Print and Save in Apple Mail Broken?

Hi people,

I'm wanting to script the printing and saving of a message in Apple Mail 1.3.9, but this appears to be broken. In the following excerpt from a script triggered by a rule, both the print and save commands seem to be ignored:

using terms from application "Mail"
	on perform mail action with messages theMessages
		repeat with ThisMessage in theMessages
			tell application "Mail"
				print ThisMessage
				save ThisMessage in "~/Desktop/abc"
			end tell
		end repeat
	end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

It seems I'm not the first to strike the print command, but I haven't been unable to find any references to the save command. Is this indeed the case or have I missed something?

The client needs the message to be saved in RTF format. I'm thinking of going via TextEdit for both the saving and printing. Thoughts on this work-around or other methods appreciated.

Please excuse my English, it's a second language. My first language is grunting.

Cheers
