But... is it possible?
Only if everyone also has a scriptable script editor too. To turn ordinary
text into a script, you'd first have to create the script, meaning you'd
have to tell Smile (assuming you don't want to buy Script Debugger for
everyone) to make a new script, then run it. Or perhaps just 'run script' if
it's formatted correctly already.
Be aware that you _cannot_ create rules by script in OE. As you say, the
rule would have to be there in place already. (So don't worry, folks. No one
could ever create a virus this way.) There's also no way to prevent anyone
from disabling the rule or deleting it. Doesn't sound like a great idea to
me.

I'd forget it, if I were you.
