You'll need a script like this:

using terms from application "Mail"
        on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
                repeat with i from 1 to count of theMessages
                                open item i of theMessages
                end repeat
        end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

There are probably other ways to do it, but this works.

Save the script in the special place that it needs to be saved in:

~Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.com <http://com.apple.com/>

Make a rule and have the action be "Perform AppleScript" and then choose the
script.
