Hi Bill and those interested: The answer is yes! I currently use an AppleScript written for Emailer, called "shred messages" I set up to use in Emailer's Mail Actions. This is automatically triggered by an assortment of spam filters, or "not my address" filters I set up in Mail Actions. 97 percent of my spam with their attachments are caught and shredded this way. The ones that get thru, I select individually, or in groups, select shred messages AppleScript, and they're gone when I click OK on the dialog that appears. Messages totally disappear, and their attachments wind up in the desktop trash can. If I move a message's attachment to the desktop from the downloads folder, same thing happens if I select the message and the shred messages AppleScript from Emailers AppleScript menu, and that includes JPGs, gifs and other attachments in addition to htmls.
There's a similar AppleScript I used, that can be set up to run the same way called "Trash Messages and Attachments". The difference being that TM&A moves the messages you want to delete automatically, or manually, to Emailer's deleted mail folder, and the message(s) related attachments to the desktop trash can. I've always had Emailer set to empty the deleted mail folder when ever I quit the program, so that worked well for me also, but I prefer shred messages (with attachments) at this time. Hope this helps answer your question Happy New Year to you and everyone also!
