"set filter criterion result to true" will set the result of the
AppleScript condition.

The "Move attachment" filter action erases the Finder comments (it seems
to be a Mac OS bug).
And if a filter moves the attachments, the following filters will have
trouble to find them to add Finder comments (this one is a PowerMail bug
that I will try to fix).

A probable workaround would be to use an AppleScript, in place of the
built-in filter action, to move the attachments to another folder; and
to execute this filter *after* the filter that sets the Finder comments.
