The truncation you are seeing, I see also (now). This may be why Apple provides not just "action=new" but "action=append" in its implementation of the applescript://com.scripteditor.plist URL.
Imbedding the script in an HTML message is a little more secure because the entire script should be there, but it appears to truncate as well. The flaw may lie in the script Apple provides to encode a script for the URL; I'll have to check. Furthermore, making it into an HTML message is tedious! To do it, I had to create an HTML document using an HTML editor (I used BBEdit, and all I needed was the basic document outline, <HTML><BODY> and so on; it probably could be done in TextEdit using a template for the HTML shell). Since I was quoting another message, I had to copy that text out of Entourage and paste it into BBEdit, and surround paragraphs with the appropriate HTML paragraph tags. Then, I created the script URL, first copying the script from Script Editor, then converting it using Apple's Encode_script script, and pasting the resulting <A HREF> tag into the HTML document, which I then saved. I then opened that document in WORD, which renders it much like a browser would because of the HTML tags it sees (I also named the file with a .html suffix). Using Word's File menu, I selected Send To Recipient as HTML; this created the actual message back in Entourage! Whew! No doubt, once we get the hang of this, one of the more competent scripters can further automate this entire process. It will be a fun project. I'll work on it, a little at a time, but I suspect someone else might beat me to it. On the other hand, I also like the method Mickey used of simply posting a tiny URL (although he used some other service--snipurl.com). He browsed to my website, where I have uploaded my scripts, and copied the URL of a download file, which he then submitted for "snipping" to the snipurl.com site; he then mailed the short URL out, which was a direct download link for my script. Not _quite_ as sexy as having it open right in Script Editor, but better than posting the source or posting the long URL. I'd like to get the AppleScript:// url working, though. I'll keep trying. Just did a test, sending a message from Netscape's HTML mail. It also gets truncated! The original message definitely has the entire script in it, but what I receive in Entourage is cut off after maybe 3.5 lines. Not sure where the flaw is here. I'll bet that if I put a "load in script editor" URL up on a web page, it will work; this is some problem with long URLs and mail, I think.
