What code do I use to determine if an app is already running?

Depends on which version of the OS you have.
In Leopard, you can do this:
application "Mail" is running
That will return true or false.
In earlier versions of OS X, use this code:
tell application "System Events"
"Mail" is in name of application processes
end tell
It will also return true or false.
