I hope I can describe my situation in a way that makes sense.

I use a method to have different sounds played when mail arrives from
different sources. It helps me know whether or not to interrupt whatever
else I am doing to take a look at the new incoming message.

The problem is that my workflow is interrupted in a minor way because my
current rule invokes a script which leaves the Finder active. Is there any
way to tell the script which application is currently active & frontmost and
to then re-activate it?

Here's what happens now:

1. A message arrives, prompting the rule.
2. It is moved to another folder (Deleted items)
3. An Applescript then is invoked which is a hybrid of "Play Sound" & "Save
As Text". The message is converted to text, moved to a folder on my drive
which is then later used by Digest Viewer. A sound of my choice is played.

This is using OS 10.1.5, and Entourage version 10.1.0 (2006)

I can, of course, post the entire script, but it is a long one. I really
only need guidance on the question of keeping my current app active,
whatever it might be at the moment.
