Bryan,
I think you will make better progress if you script a new 'draft window'
rather than a new 'outgoing message'. There are differences between these,
and it's generally more straightforward for the scripter to deal with 'draft
message'.
So, for example, you might write:
set myPDFattach_ to "your:path:to:somefile.pdf" as alias
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
-- (following is a single line)
set msg to make new draft window with properties {to
recipients:"email@hidden"}
make new attachment at msg with properties {file:myPDFattach_}
end tell
See the Entourage AppleScript dictionary (open the app with your script
editor) for more about the 'draft window', its properties and elements.
