When I receive mail from someone to whom I've assigned a category it
color codes correctly. But when I send mail it stays black. Doesn't
make any difference whether I take the address from most recently used
list or drag it from the address book. What am I doing wrong?

This feature isn't available in Entourage.

What makes you say it's not available? When I reply to a message whose
sender is in my address book with a category assigned, my reply message
in Sent Items *does* have the same category.

That's because it's a reply. Replies to messages automatically inherit the
category of the original message. However, this isn't the case for new
messages.
