Right. I wanted to use it to automatically trash useless email attachments
like .exe, .pif, etc. from Eudora's attachments folder. But the constant loss
of focus (checking email every 5 minutes and receiving lots of attachments)
makes using FolderActions for this a worse solution than the problem.
Given that apparently this is a known and long-standing bug, has it been
reported to Apple?
