Well the idea is to not to change users usage pattern - so they still
click on Mail icon to launch mail, but the service provided by the

Are your users a clearly defined group? I.e., would you have access to
their computers and be able to put an alias to your script where they
would normally expect to find their Mail icon?
If not, I think QuicKeys has a trigger option of starting a macro after
another application is launched. I'm not aware of any other
macro/scripting utility that does.
A possible alternative would be a cron job or script with an idle
handler that fires several times a minute and checks whether Mail has
started, but that seems awfully wasteful to me.
