I did exactly the same, with the same result. However, when I tried
the equivalent excerpt from Glenn's script--
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
activate
click menu item "New Viewer Window" of
menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
--that _also_ worked fine from the Script Menu; the only difference
was that in the first case, the script ended with Mail frontmost,
and in the second case, the frontmost app prior to the running of
the script remained frontmost (actually, I believe Mail came to the
front for the blink of an eye, mid-script).

To "activate" a process in System events use:
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process "Mail" to true
end tell
"activate" works with the application not with a process.
Try this
tell application "Finder"
set frontmost of process "Mail" to true
end tell
--> activates "Finder"
