Here is what you need
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set thedraft to make new draft window
set myToAddress to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set myBccAddress to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set to recipients of thedraft to {myToAddress}
set BCC recipients of thedraft to {myBccAddress}
end tell
Fyi, the BCC is set if you click on the address pane you will see that it is
set.
Btw if you get all your properties and then just send one appleevent to
Entourage it will be quicker, here is what I mean using the example above.
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set myToAddress to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set myBccAddress to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set thedraft to make new draft window with properties {to
recipients:{myToAddress}, BCC recipients:{myBccAddress}}
end tell
