Re: files that HTML messages create
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* What do I use as a workaround then? Do I have to incorporate all my other actions into the Spam: actions filter? What I did was create another filter based upon your example for removing attachments.

That's a valid observation.

Rick,
I've written the following script to remove all sorts of attachments. I
call it from a filter set as Always
AppleScript
--Remove Listed Attachments by Andy Fragen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--v.1.1
property badAttachment : {winmail.dat, .exe, signature.asc,
IMSTP, smime.p7s, PGP.sig}
property spamAttachment : {.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .pif, .scr,
.zip, Enclosure}
property spamlabel : 7
tell application PowerMail 5.0b12
set theMessages to current messages
repeat with msg in theMessages
if exists (attachments of msg) then
my stripAttachment(badAttachment, msg)
--if (name of storage of msg as string = Spam) or
(label of msg is
spamlabel) then
if label of msg is spamlabel then
my stripAttachment(spamAttachment, msg)
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
on stripAttachment(propList, msg)
tell application PowerMail 5.0b12
repeat with attach in every attachment of msg
repeat with i from 1 to the number of items of propList
ignoring case
--if (name of attach begins with item i
of propList) or (name of
attach ends with item i of propList) then
if (name of attach contains item i of
propList) then
--display dialog (Found match:
name of attach : id of msg)
set f to file of attach
tell application Finder
try
move f to trash
end try
end tell
end if
end ignoring
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end stripAttachment
/AppleScript
Watch for line breaks.

Here's a questions that I've wondered about for ages but never got around
to asking:
When HTML messages arrive, I sometimes get a file in the attachments
folder called Enclosure.html, sometimes one called PowerMail HTML
message.html, and sometimes the HTML message does not create a file at
all AFAIK.
What determines the different behaviour?
Also, is there any way to avoid having to retain these created files in
order to read the message later? I keep my email for years, and I hate
the ideas that in order to be sure of being able to read an HTML message
received 9 months ago I have to have a vast reservoir of files called
Enclosure.1.html, Enclosure.2.html, Enclosure.875.html, etc.
Thanks; Rick

This file is overriten when you click the globe button for another HTML message. Some messages however contain multiple HTML parts, or both a text part and an HTML one (with a content type: multipart/mixed, which means that the text part is not equivalent to the HTML part); in this case, PowerMail handle the HTML part(s) as an attachment, so you can view it in addition of the text part. Maybe I could use a better name than Enclosure.html, based on the message's subject... Jérôme - PowerMail Engineering - PowerMail 4.2 is really, really fast.
