The lack of an automatic way to generate a cc to self was one of the first
options I missed when moving to Entourage. What I did was create a brief
AppleScript script that I installed in Entourage's Scripts Menu Items
folder. The script is the following:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
make new draft window with properties {recipient:{recipient type:�
cc recipient, address:get address of me contact, display name:�
get display name of me contact}}
end tell
I select this script from the script menu in Entourage whenever I wish to
start a new message and it creates a new message with a cc to me already
inserted. To make the process even more convenient, I added a keyboard
shortcut for triggering the script by ending the name of the script with a
"\" and a key modifier. In my case, I decided to appropriate the Command-N
key combination. Thus, the name of the script file (saved as a compiled
script) in the Scripts Menu Items folder is:
New Message\N
In case I forget to start a new message using this script, I also put
another script in the Script Menu Items folder that adds the cc to self to
an existing draft message. This script is the following:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
if class of window 1 is draft window then
set MyAddress to address of me contact
if MyAddress is not in CC recipients of window 1 then �
make new recipient of window 1 with properties {recipient type:�
cc recipient, address:MyAddress, display name:�
get display name of me contact}
end if
end tell
A similar script strategy can also be used for automatically adding a cc to
self on any new reply or forwarded message.
