Actually, you can come even closer if you use a "sent" message, and Re-send
it. That leaves your original message untouched (except for adding the
Re-Send flag to it), and you can re-use it as many times as you want.
To set them up initially, either send the message(s) to yourself, or create
an outgoing message and marked the delivery status as sent with AppleScript.
You don't even have to add an email address. Save the message(s) as Draft,
select them, then run this script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set themsgs to current messages
repeat with themsg in themsgs
if class of themsg is outgoing message then
set delivery status of themsg to sent
end if
end repeat
end tell
You can now move the messages to a folder where you want to store them.
Highlight a message to use it, select "Resend" from the "Message" menu, and
add your recipient(s).
For automatically saving the sent message into a special folder, I think
(although I've not tried it) that if you use a Rule for Outgoing messages
that uses the Folder option, you can select the Folder where the original is
and tell Entourage to save the message into your desired folder.
(Actually, I'm testing that as I send this. We'll see what happens...)
