Applescript Copy Paste Help!

Look at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080207080505152

Pay attention to:

Code:

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {command down}
tell me to activate
set selecTxt to the clipboard as text

 

where do I ask a question?

 

And you might not need to use the clipboard either. Put the text into a variable, then set the appropriate container in Entourage to that variable.

I googled Entourage and Applescript and found an article at MacTech. Here's a code snippet that might help get you started:

Code:

set theSubject to "Some Subject"
set theBody to "Some Body"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
   make new outgoing message with properties 
{subject:theSubject, content:theBody}
end tell
--> outgoing message id 11285 of application "Microsoft Entourage"
