Paul's scripts are probably a more complete answer for you, but if you want just the count, compile this:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    activate
    try
        set aMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    on error
        display dialog "No messages selected."
        return
    end try
    set sub to subject of aMsg
    set tc to count of ((recipients where the recipient type is to recipient) of aMsg)
    set cc to count of ((recipients where the recipient type is cc recipient) of aMsg)
    set bcc to count of ((recipients where the recipient type is bcc recipient) of aMsg)
    display dialog "To: " & tc & return & "cc: " & cc & return & "bcc: " & bcc & return & sub
end tell
