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.

I'm not sure this is applicable here, so I will let you decide.
I have used this …

tell application "Finder" to open msg using application file id "com.apple.mail"

to open a message where the variable msg is an alias to an .emlx file in the Finder
and "com.apple.mail" is the application's 'Bundle identifier'. Would it help to use the
PowerMail Bundle identifier? (Perhaps not. I don't know where/how your message is stored.)
