Rule based scripts use a specific handler, so anything in an 'on run'
handler or in the main body of a script won't run. The reason for this
is that a rule can pass in a Rule object and a message object, allowing
you to perform custom logic within the script on the message that
triggered the rule.
Example:
on perform_mail_action(info)
tell application "Mail"
set selectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of info
set theRule to |Rule| of info
repeat with eachMessage in selectedMessages
set theSubject to subject of eachMessage
set theRuleName to name of theRule
set theText to "The rule named '" & theRuleName & "' matched this
message:" & return & return & "Subject: " & theSubject
display dialog theText
end repeat
end tell
end perform_mail_action
In the example, 'info' is an Applescript record with two keys:
|SelectedMessages| and |Rule|. |SelectedMessages| is a list of message
objects that match the conditions for the rule. As messages are fetched
and evaluated in batches, this list may contain more than one message,
so be sure to take that into account. |Rule| is the rule object that
triggered the script action.

Does anyone know why Mail won't launch the following compiled script as
a rule?
It runs fine when I hit run in Script Editor:
tell application "Mail"
set ListOfNewMessages to {}
set ListOfMessages to every message of in mailbox
repeat with i in ListOfMessages
if (is read of i is false) and (is junk mail of i is false) then
set SenderName to (sender of i)
set ListOfNewMessages to ListOfNewMessages & SenderName
end if
end repeat
try
if listofnewmail !A {} then
say "Sunil, you have new mail from " & ListOfNewMessages
end if
end try
end tell
Thanks, Sunil
