The last category added with the Category menu becomes the first category in
the category list, which is the primary category for the item.
If you set the category with a script, e.g.
set category of themsg to category "Junk"
Then that becomes the only (and thus primary) category.
If you want to add categories to a message's category list, you can use
(assuming themsg has been set as a reference to a message already)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set catlist to category of themsg
-- it's probably safest to use ID numbers when possible
-- That way you don't need to redo the script if you change the name
set needcat to true
set wantedID to 4 -- or the ID you want to add
if catlist is not {} then
repeat with thecat in catlist
if ID of thecat = wantedID then
set needcat to false
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end if
if needcat then
copy category ID wantedID to end of catlist
-- maintains current "primary" category; use start instead of
-- end if you want to change the primary to the new one
set category of themsg to catlist
end if
end tell
