Although, if you opened it from the folder in which it resides, the top
folder in the list will happen to be the folder in which the message is
located, which confused me while I was testing this.

To determine the location & path of a message, you can also use Barry
Wainwright's "Show Message Location" script:
(*
Barry Wainwright
Entourage-Talk List
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:04:52 +0100
*)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)
set theItem to storage of theMessage
set containerPath to {subject of theMessage, name of theItem}
repeat
try
set theItem to parent of theItem
copy name of theItem to end of containerPath
on error
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"/"}
set pathList to (reverse of containerPath) as text
display dialog "Path to selected message is:" & return & pathList
buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
Install the script by pasting the above script into a new script in Script
Editor (/Applications/Script Editor/). Then, save it as "Show Message
Location " into ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu
Items/. Then, if you find a message that resides in the folder, you can
click the script menu next to the "Help" menu and select "Show Message
Location" to show the path to the message.
