I used to run an Applescript in Mail on a mail-rule to send an auto-reply-form to customers so they knew their mail was received and their order would be processed.
Ever since I've updated to Leopard, this script doesnt work anymore. It's not broken, no crashing software, it just doesn't wprk anymore. Me and my customers really relied on this script. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at this script and maybe even fix it and really help me out so I can run this again, even in Leopard. My knowledge of Applescipt is very minor eventhough I love to use it...
If it's not fixable, could somebody help me out with an alternative script?

Thanks for your help.

Heres the script that worked perfect in Panther:

using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages selectedMsgs
repeat with msg in selectedMsgs
set theSubject to subject of msg
set theSender to extract name from sender of msg
set theAddress to extract address from sender of msg
set theDate to date sent of message

I'm a bit surprised that this ever worked and that you never noticed the problem, since you've probably been getting blank "Verstuurd" lines forever. In that last quoted line, try changing "message" (which is a class) to "msg" (which is your variable.)

There are a number of things that "break" in Leopard because applications have improved error checking, and therefore will explicitly fail on bogus scripts that used to fail silently.
