there is a way - you can parse the 'ical data' of an event:

	set eventData to iCal data of theEvent
	set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"ORGANIZER:MAILTO:"}
	set TheSender to first paragraph of text item 2 of eventData
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims


I haven't checked this out very far - events originating in Entourage 
use the "ORGANIZER:MAILTO:" tag, other systems may have a slight 
variation (and TIDs are case sensitive!).

It may get you started...
