Funny thing is why the script does not work when automatically fired, but does when I manually Apply Rules.

Also, I just re-created the rule, and now it plays the sound in the Play Sound action, but does still not fire the script.. hmm..

One obvious possibility is that there is something about the incoming message that does not trigger the rule.


After reviewing the script itself, I can't see any reason that it won't trigger, unless if the message it is replying to doesn't have a "reply to" header and the script fails silently. If that's the case, you need to check for that header, either with a try block or with an if-then construct.

This:

	try
		set theHeader to (content of header "reply-to") of thisMessage
	on error
		set theHeader to (content of header "from") of thisMessage
	end try

Or this:

	if (content of header "reply-to") of thisMessage exists then
		set theHeader to (content of header "reply-to") of thisMessage
	else
		set theHeader to (content of header "from") of thisMessage
	end if
