I'd save and restore the prefs slightly differently, especially if the script is running on someone else's Mac, but that may be a matter of preference:

tell application "Mail"
set oldFormat to default message format
set default message format to plain text
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"mailSubject", content:"mailContent" as text, visible:true}
set default message format to oldFormat
end tell

I had thought of that, but wrote it simply for the specific case presented.

Your first two lines could be reduced to this:

set {oldformat, default message format} to {default message format, plain text}

I don't know whether it would save anything, though.
