The OP was really quite clear about this.

You can, technically do this now anyway. Email comes in with an applescript
as an attachment, a rule with a script processes the attachment. If it's the
right kind, run the script in (Apple)Script Editor.
It just takes a lot of work and setup, but sure, you can do that now, and I
can think of a few cases where it could be pretty cool to do so.

side of things that these skills develop. I was at the front five and a half
years, and you just got a feeling for the right amount of lead.
