The filter in question is pretty high in my filter list (no. 15-ish out of about 90+) and does not follow any filters that move attachments. > >Does the script run properly if you manually run that filter on your >messages that have attachments? Yes, it does. Sorry, should have mentioned that in my original post. I guess that this rules out any incompatibility between the script and PM's applescript library/dictionary. >Have you tried copying the entire >contents of the script into a new script file and saving?

I've not tried rebuilding the script in this way, but the fact that thefilter works when manually applied (see above) implies to me that it is unlikely to have any affect. But I might try it anyway when I have a spare few minutes. Thanks for the alternative script. >/snip/ >If you don't get a lot of attachments, >you can manually run your script, or the above script on individual >messages, or several messages at once, or even an entire folder of >messages if the script works for you outside a filter. I know I'd never remember to do it, and I get enough attachments that it would become a problem. Also, the filter needs to be run on the message, not the attachment per se, and my mail is nearly all auto-filtered into hundred of different folders, making manual application of the filter or script time consuming. > >Good luck!
