Well I see what Dave is saying and its something that I was hoping
could be considered. He's pointing out that currently there is the
option for notifications to send email, and possibly that would be
able to be replaced with a script that would activate an applescript
(which is where this thread originated) as far as the GUI possibly
just entering the path to the apple script in the text box?

That would be an interesting tweak to growl that to me seams pretty
simple to do that would add applescript functionality as a
notification.
