attachment is (or can be) a list. An empty list {} will work without having
to make any special exceptions. you've also spelled your variable wrong on
your handler parameter (TheAttchment instead of TheAttachment
that will make it error.

set TheAttachment to {}
set attachThisTime to true -- or false

if attachThisTime is true then
tell application "Outlook Express" to set end of TheAttachment to
file:alias "HD:Folder:somethingOrOther" -- one line
end if

on MakeMessage(ToAdres, TheSubject, TheContent, TheAttachment)
tell application "Outlook Express"
activate
set NwMessage to make outgoing message with properties
{recipient:ToAdres, subject:TheSubject, content:TheContent,
attachment:TheAttachment}
move NwMessage to folder "Postvak UIT"
end tell
end MakeMessage
