I don't know which line generates the error. I've tried commenting

Then where'd you get that script? ;)
If you are just running the script from Mail, without any means of
testing,
then you can't answer Michelle's reasonable question.
To do that, run your script from your script editor (likely, Script
Editor).
That is, open it up and run it with a selected Mail message (I'm just
guessing that a selected message would still work...I don't use
Mail...the
point is, have a message selected and try to run your script in the
editor.
You will be alerted to errors.
This is the typical way to 'debug' an AppleScript. If you just run
a script
from a menu/rule/app/etc., and that script does not contain error-
catching
code, then you may not ever know there was an error, or where.
As for the syntax for 'forward', look at Mail's AppleScript
dictionary for
that verb.
Again, using Script Editor (or other), choose Open Dictionary and
then open
Mail.app. Or, alternatively (and easier?), drag Mail.app onto the/
your
script editor icon...the dictionary will be displayed.

The script was a collaborative effort, but my collaborator is stuck
also!
I tried debugging as you outlined, but I get no response. No error
messages, no alerts, no mail.app action.
Does this mean there are no obvious errors with the script?
Obviously, it compiles ok.
