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. > "Run AppleScript: Nuke Messages"...[will] delete the message > permanently from your system, bypassing the Deleted Items folder, > but be careful since there is the unlikely chance you'll lose > a legitimate message this way. > > You can download the free AppleScript from SomeDude Software; make sure you > download the Entourage version. > <http://www.avernus.com/~phil/OEStuff.html> 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 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
