Simple mail script not working

Hi

It's been awhile since I used Applescript and I'm having trouble with a simple mail script test. Basically, what I want to do is run a script when emails with a specific subject line arrives but the script doesn't seem to get called.

Here's what I did
- Set up a rule in the Mail prefs with the settings:
	Subject contains testing123
	Run Applescript: "/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/testing123.scpt

- Send a message to myself with the "testing123" subject line
- Result: Nothing

Here's the script could someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages selectedMessages
-- activate -- tried this both commented and uncommented, no difference
repeat with aMessage in selectedMessages
display dialog aMessage
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from


Thanks for any help

Ken
