Howdy,
I'm sorry if this is a FAQ.
I'm making progress on my scripting of Entourage to process attachments
the way I want.
One thing to help keep attachments in check is to get rid of the annoying
crap that various programs attach to every message. So far, I have
identified:
winmail.dat
smime.p7s
signature.asc
I wrote a little AppleScript which will remove any of these attachments
from a message but leave any other attachments alone (*).
I then wanted to have this script run by a rule (if any attachment had a
name matching one of the ones I want to nuke) so that my incoming mail would
be stripped of this crud. However, I've begun to notice that a great many
of my rules (including the one I wrote for this) have the "Don't apply other
rules to messages that meet these criteria" box checked and greyed-out so
that I basically can't apply this rule to any message that gets processed by
one of my rules, and I can't apply other rules to ones that get processed by
this one.
Am I missing something? Can I not apply any other rules to a message that
has had an AppleScript run on it? None of my other rules apply AppleScripts
-- they just file the message in the right folder. I guess I could add the
AppleScript to each of my other rules, since the script will work fine if
there are no attachments, but that's awfully clumsy...
Thanks!

(*) Request to Entourage team: it would be really nice to be able to write a
rule to remove attachments with a particular name. But, it doesn't look
like there's a way to do this without AppleScript -- I can only remove all
attachments.
