Good news then. But, just to be sure we are talking about the same
thing... Eudora certainly can filter a message with AppleScript. It
has a separate scripts menu just for doing that. I was referring to
it's ability to have it run an AppleScript of your choosing as a
filter option. In my version 5.1 there is no such wording. Not
broken, just isn't there.
Here is a snippet I received from Anton on the Qualcomm Eudora tech
support team when I asked this question on Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2002

Unfortunately you haven't missed anything. This is not something that
Eudora supports. I cannot say for sure that it will "Never" be implemented,
however I can say that this is not something that is in the "Pipeline" for
a release anytime in the near future.
If you are saying that this is finally true then Oh happy day for me.
I will upgrade. I was not going to upgrade until (or if) they fixed
that.

Allow me for the umpteenth time to remind the masses that Eudora has
been able to filter messages through a script since before
Applescript existed, before Eudora Filters existed and before any
other MIME mail user agent was dreamt of.
As soon as Applescript existed it was possible to notify an
Applescript applet to filter mail.
During the carbonization of Eudora, this feature got broken and
remained broken through version 5.2 and a good part of the latest
beta cycle until I raised the alarm.
Eudora 5.2.1, just released, restores this function and I recommend it to you
<http://www.eudora.com/email/features/index.html>
There are exciting and not totally unrelated features to look
forward to in the next version.
I documented Eudora notification over two years ago, but I will not
publish the address here since the scripts need modification in the
light of changes in MacOS Finder behaviour.
Now that the current release is repaired and generally available I
will produce new documentation for 'notice' and 'start notifying'.
