Unfortunately Eudora seems forever resigned to the stone age for Mac
users as it refuses to enable AppleScript as a filter option. I last
wrote and complained about this over 6 months ago and the Eudora
team said emphatically no. It could have changed since then but I
doubt it.
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

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'.
