That script seems to have been designed to work only manually, not from a
rule. There might be a good reason for that -- the script author will be
along in a few moments, I'm sure.
To get it to work both manually and from a rule, you can probably simply
change a line near the top of the script that says something like:
set [someVariable] to selection
or
set [someVariable] to the selection
to
set [someVariable] to current messages
Don't change whatever word is actually [someVariable]: just change '[the]
selection' to 'current messages' (no quotes), and save.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
