Well, it turns out I'm talking nonsense. You're right - sender is a property of message, and outgoing message, and is not read-only, and can be set. I just did it.  But there's no 'sender' property of draft window, just 'account'. So you can't do it with a new message window, not even saving it as a message and changing the sender. It doesn't work . But if you close the window (by script) then it works!

When you're already to send your message, instead of pressing the Send button, run this script. You can assign it a keyboard shortcut, of course.

--------------------------
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theWindow to window 1
    if {class of theWindow} is not in {draft window, draft news window} then
        beep
        display dialog "The script only works with a new message window in front." buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon 0
        return
    end if

    save theWindow    
    set theMsg to displayed message of theWindow
    close theWindow saving yes
    set sender of theMsg to {address:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", display name:"George Whatsis"}
    send theMsg
end tell

--------------------------

Voila!
