Ah, I think you said raw text in your original query, so I made the wrong
assumption.
No, that code won't work with selected-text (which is unfortunately not
supported in Mail's AppleScript dictionary).

I use FastScripts to run nearly all of my AppleScripts (unlike Apple's
AppleScript menu it can handle per application keyboard shortcuts), although I
do use BBEdit's own script menu for BBEdit-specific stuff.
For macros that require actions other than AppleScript I use Keyboard Maestro.
In a case like yours it would be easy to make KM do the copy-to-clipboard in
Mail and then perform all subsequent other actions.
You could do it all in AppleScript though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "System Events"
set quit delay to 0
tell process "Mail"
set frontmost to true
keystroke "c" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
# Do your thing.
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see you have a fair amount of choice.
