Hello, I'm puzzled.
I tested the complete script (with the REPL handler) and it returned correctly:
"/Users/**********/Library/Mail/V5/30ACBF46-881C-40AC-B33B-500D53832270/forum
AppleScript
US.mbox/387AD57C-A952-46C3-83DA-4FFBC58D9679/Data/2/7/Messages/72668.emlx"
What are you getting on your side?
