I also have trouble with Applescripts not performing when called by a filter during mail collection but working fine when called manually (ie. from the "Perform Filter" menu item).
The one that most annoys me is a script that adds some info such as the sender's name, the date, etc, into the comments for any attached files, so if I can't remember who sent me file signo-abb24.sit I just have to Cmd-i and I can find out. But the script never runs automatically, only if I cal it from the menu. Not very useful. It used to work... but I'm not sure when it stopped working. A while ago, that's for sure. rick -- G5 2GHz x2 :: 2GB RAM :: 10.4.5 :: PM 5.2.3 :: 3 pane mode Shark Attack: A Design Studio <www.sharkattack.co.uk> -- Original message: Received from George Henne on 2/6/06 at 16:16 >(Wayne: I think I understand you, but the changed code does the same thing) > >Here's the latest code. > >tell application "PowerMail" > set theMessages to current messages > repeat with msg in theMessages > -- put your code here to do something on each message msg > > if exists (attachments of msg) then > set fileList to attachments of msg > repeat with theFile in fileList -- this code does not > handle multiple >CSV attachements > set fname to theFile's name > if fname contains ".csv" then > set myFile to theFile's file > set theText to my readFile(myFile) > end if > end repeat > else > set theText to the content of msg & time sent of msg > end if > end repeat >end tell > >-- now send the text to Hypercard >set the clipboard to ((theText) as text) >tell application "SuperCard 4.5" > activate > do script "go to card 1 of stack NSB Invoice SC" > do script "send mouseUp to cd button CopyClipboard" > do script "send mouseUp to cd button UpdateImport" >end tell >-- SuperCard will now generate the reply > >on readFile(theFile) > read theFile >end readFile > > >>Try moving your tell statements. >>Close the tell for PowerMail, then run your SuperCard, then open a new >>Tell statement for Powermail to create a new message.
