Hi Deivy.

On my machine, where the default e-mail client is PowerMail, your script
tries to open the message in Mail. (But 'open location' with a "mailto:";
protocol starts a message in PowerMail.) So the advice would seem to be
to use 'open location "message:"' only when you know the message is in
Mail, and to comment the script accordingly.
