On getting ready to post this script to AS central, I realized a couple of things about it: it would be a bad idea to make multiple events (so far without dates) and not open them, as they could never be found. So if you want to select a slew of messages in the message pane and make multiple events, they will all open. Also a number of error traps needed to be put in, in case there are no messages selected, or a message is open in its own window but some part of the header is "selected" or the cursor is up in in the headers (AppleScript says "can't get selection" and would have failed, but this new version will use the message content anyway). In the process I discovered an extremely weird AppleScript anomaly (I don't think it has anything to do with Entourage.)
Thanks for the work Paul! I have used the other already twice today! I have just updated it with this version.
