Actually I don't know why the switch to the other buffer does not apply
with the babel execution.

For a practical realization you could use a timer.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var cover="cover.txt"
(let ((buf (find-file cover)))
  (mail-mode)
  (run-at-time 1 nil #'switch-to-buffer buf))
#+end_src


Ciao
