To expand on that a little, and make it into a useable script:

-- Update sender from address book
-- a script by Barry Wainwright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-- In response to a request on the Entourage:Mac mailing list
-- 9th April 2002
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    try
       set theMess to item 1 of (get current messages)
    on error
       beep
       return -99
   end try
   set theSender to sender of theMess
   set theContacts to find (address of theSender)
    if (count theContacts) > 0 then
       set theContact to item 1 of theContacts
       set theName to display name of theContact
       set the display name of theSender to theName
       set the sender of theMess to theSender
   end if
end tell

Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ‘Entourage Script Menu Items’ folder in your ‘Microsoft User Data’ folder. The script can be manually run from the menu or called as an action in a mail rule.
