We have a photo program which utilizes an AppleScript to send images via
email. This application is running on an Intel-based Mac running v10.5.2
with Entourage 2008 v12.0.1. The following script successfully launches
Entourage, loads up a new draft message, and attaches all images perfectly:

on open tList

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate

set nMessage to make new draft window with properties {to
recipients:"email@mailinator.com"}
repeat with i in tList
make new attachment at nMessage with properties {file:i}
end repeat

end tell

end open

However, one of our alternative scripts launches Entourage 2008, but it does
not launch a new message or attach the images. This script was written for
and works on Entourage 2004 (11.4), OS v10.4.11, but not on the system
running Entourage 2008:

on open theList

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate

set newMessage to (make new outgoing message)
repeat with aFile in theList
make new attachment at newMessage with properties {file:aFile as alias}
end repeat

end tell

end open

Looking for suggestions on how to correct the second script so it will
execute completely on Entourage 2008. Thank you in advance to those who
offer their expertise.

What is the second script supposed to achieve? It looks like it is designed to do exactly what the first script does, and you state that the first script works fine.
