tell application "Mail"

		set newMessage to make new outgoing message 
		--set the recipient , subject, etc.
		send newMessage

...works fine. But 

set redirectMessage to redirect theMessage 
etc.
send redirectMessage

Brings up a box that says
"This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below."

and when you select, the message goes. Well, I DO have a preferred mail server. I just used it for that other message. 

What's different about redirect?
