I have occasionally used outgoing Rules to file messages and didn�t stop to think that the AppleScript action would be performed after the message was sent. Bummer.
I guess that makes this a feature request for entourage 2006 because I am one of those who does use the words "attach" or "attached" but doesn�t like to stop typing to jump through the hoops of the attachment process. I have another request but I'll put that in a new message with an appropriate subject.
