I'm pretty sure that text copied into an AppleScript variable, and then back
to the clipboard, will not maintain any styling info. So:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set x to the selection
set the clipboard to x
end tell
That should do it for any highlighted text. For the sender's address, you
need to get a reference to the message, then the address (which will be
plain text) such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Obtained by running the script below on
your message):
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set aMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
set the clipboard to (get address of sender of aMsg)
end tell
