Script no longer sends mail since upgrade to 10.5

Question

I used the script below to generate mail messages. Under 10.4 it would just send the message, now under 10.5 it puts it in the *Out Box* and that is it. Anybody knows how to fix this so it sends it immediately?
set theBody to "abc"
set theSubject to "XYZ"
set theTarget to "[email protected]"
tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with
roperties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody}
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theTarget}
set sender to "[email protected]"
end tell
send newMessage
end tell
thanks

Leopard is definitely my problem. I have found two work-arounds...both are cumbersome, and I don't believe either is acceptable, but they do work for me. 1) Send mail from your ISP's webmail facility (or gmail, for example) or, 2) I have made a new partition on my disk on which I (re)installed Tiger. I can drag attachments or other info into this partition from my Leopard disk, then restart in the Tiger disk. From Tiger, I can compose and send email from Tiger's Mail app. Aaaaaargh! This hasn't been a pleasant experience for a recent "switcher"....Good luck! Bill
