Oh, BTW, will mail.app rules ever have the ability to add to the

Are you talking about a rule that, for example, looks for a message
with a given subject and adds the sender/recipient to the address
book? If so, I've never heard that requested before (honestly!).
Yes, four rules actually, one that adds it to the address book in
general, one that adds it to a specified address group (and to the book
too, if it has to be in the book to be in a group), and corresponding
ones to remove it from the book and/or group.
Claris emailer 2.0v3 has had them since 1997 (earlier versions may have
had it too; I don't recall). This allows the email program to behave
as a mini mailing list server.
Here's an example (in pseudocode)
If "to" is "email@hidden" and
if "from" is not in address group "diary list" and
if "subject" contains "subscribe" then
add "from" to address group "diary list"
This would probably be best handled by a rule that triggers a script
action,
Building it into the rules would make it easier on the users.
something that we are planning for the future.
Great; having a rule trigger a script action is something else I wanted
to ask for.
