I have setup a mail rule that when I get an email with the subject
"picture" the rule runs a script that opens and runs an automator
workflow and then sends out the snap shot in a new email message to a
different email account of mine.
So if you setup a rule to filter your new emails couldn't you just
have that rule run a script to run an automator workflow that is saved
as an app that grabs the addressees email, your html file and create a
new message that way? I also use Automator to check the upcoming week
for birthdays and if finds one send a generic birthday message to the
recipient.
I don't think what you are wanting to do is difficult but it may
require multiple actions from different applications and/ or scripts
to accomplish it.

Actually, setting a mail filter to reply to a message is harder than
it should be. This is due to a bug in Mail that fails (without even
throwing an error!) if you try to "make new outgoing message" inside
a mail rule. Apparently the issue is a threading one, and again is
yet another reason why Mail is so freaking hard to script.
A solution that relies on Applescript alone (apparently you can also
use launchd but I've never gotten that working), is to set up a
"stay open" applescript bundle that polls your inbox every so often
looking for unread messages that matches a particular criteria, then
performs "make new outgoing message".
I have done this and there isn't any noticeable performance hit on
the computer, but it's not the most elegant -- and even worse it
isn't even intuitive nor documented. I spent a week working on a
work-around for something that should be straight-forward! Although
who ever said programming was straight-forward?
you can do it strictly with
rules, and won't need Applescript at all
Pray tell how that works!
I am using Mac mail and set up some rule to filter mails.
I would like to run some apple script that replies automatically
with html message automatically when filtered mail is received.
Can some body assist me how to send automatic mail when ever
filtered mail is availabel in my mail box?
Does it have to be HTML mail? If not, you can do it strictly with
rules, and won't need Applescript at all.
