applications launch invisibly in 10.5?

I thought applications were not supposed to make themselves visible when launched via applescript in Leopard unless they are specifically "activated."  I have seen this work with iCal, but it seems to fail with Mail here:

tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"test", content:"mytext"}
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:"yourNameHere", address:"email@hidden"}
end tell
end tell

Anyone else seeing this? Is there a workaround to get Mail to make & send a new message without showing itself?

TIA

Vince
