Have the rule run this script, after doing the redirection:

tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    set redirected of theMsg to false
end tell


I suppose it's just possible that the script would run before the redirection arrow appears from the first action of the rule. If so, you'd simply have to replace the redirection action with a single script that does both actions:

tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    set theRedirect to redirect theMsg to "My Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" without opening message-- or whatever
    send theRedirect  with sending later -- or remove 'with sending later'
    set redirected of theMsg to false
end tell


I think it's best to send 'with sending later' which will put the redirect in the Outbox, as you're doing at present, so all the redirects go off at once on next Send All. Otherwise each message will go off separately ringing the "just sent" bell each time.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
