Well spotted!
I wrote a very handy little script called "Insert Notes" that inserts the
boilerplate text for me. All the text clippings are kept in Entourage notes,
and get dropped into an entourage message simply by pressing a key-combo to
call up the script, then selecting the note(s) from the list that appears.
Get the script from my scripts page:

At the last count I have had about 600 acknowledgements for this (freeware)
scripts (and that doesn't count all the people who decide not to acknowledge
it), so it is by a long way the most popular of my scripts. I also just had
an email from MacWorld to say they plan to include a reference to it in an
upcoming article.
