Is AppleScript multi-threaded?

Does/Can AS instantiate multiple occurrences of a script?

I have a scenario where I have written a script to process an email
attachment whenever a certain type of email is received. The script takes
about 20-30 seconds to run. I haven't finished the script so it's not live
to test yet, but I'm wondering what's going to happen when this script is
triggered (by Entourage) by an incoming eMail and then triggered again
within a second or two by another email (or 10 more, etc.)? Is this a
problem? Will it wait, will it bomb, or is AS multi-threaded and run
multiple instances of it?

Thanks,

Matt
