Understood. However, where I am still not clear what exactly do I say in the
script to identify the messages that the rule just handled... for instance I
can say
set myMessages to selection
or
set myMessages to every message of folder ID 26 whose read status is
untouched
what I guess I'm getting at is:
1) check mail
2) rules look at it - this message applies to me
3) set the category and move it to folder X
4) run the applescript on THAT message
my question is how do I tell the applescript to run on that message short of
having the rule move the message to a temp folder then running the script on
every entry in the temp folder.
