That's a great rule. I replicated it for myself, but I wanted to do more
than just set the category to "virus" -- I'd prefer to permanently delete
any messages carrying these sorts of attachments.

So I set the (only) action in my rule to run the AppleScript "Nuke
Messages," which was mentioned in another post to this very same thread
yesterday by  Mickey Stevens.

I made sure to get the Entourage version of the script.

The result is the rule seems to be able to identify messages with these
attachments, but the AppleScript doesn't seem to be able to 'nuke' them. I
get an error that reads:
  "Microsoft Entourage got an error: Can't get selection."

I know next to nothing about AppleScripts, so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Khoi

P.S. I'm running Entourage X 10.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.2.6
