on ltrim(someText)
	repeat until first character of someText is not in {" ", tab, ASCII character 10, return, ASCII character 0}
		set someText to text 2 thru -1 of someText
	end repeat
	return someText
end ltrim

on run
	tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
		--activate
		set msgs to the current messages
		if msgs is {} then return
		repeat with msg in msgs
			set subj to get the subject of msg
		end repeat
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
		set tpc to last text item of subj
	end tell
	set tpc to my ltrim(tpc)
	set the clipboard to tpc
	tell application "System Events" to tell process "Entourage"
