You can't make it run automatically when creating a new message. You would
need create new messages from the script. I use an Automator action.
Create New Entourage Mail Message
Run AppleScript
Insert
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theWindows to every window whose class is draft window
repeat with aWindow in theWindows
set position of aWindow to {75, 140}
end repeat
end tell
Save Workflow to the Script Menu Items folder. Assign a shortcut to the
script. However, 12.0.1 broke using Automator actions. I have put an alias
on my desktop for now for the workflow.
