Have you tried to put the tell-mail-block around the loop?
like in:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages selectedMessages
tell application "Mail"
repeat with eachMessage in selectedMessages
display alert "test alert" message "test message" as warning
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

I've been trying to sort out an applescript which displays an alert

This doesn't work as I'd hoped - a blank dialog appears with no
"OK" button or any other content, and I have to force-quit Mail.
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? This same question was
asked by John C Welch on this list in July 06, but nobody offered
an answer...
I believe Mail is running this portion in a secondary thread and
normally AppleScript UI has to run on the main thread (haven't
checked since 10.4).
