I really should remember to clean up my scripts instead of just copying
and pasting. ;-)

It was in there to specifically exclude HTML-type email. It turns out
that if you get the message content of an HTML message via AppleScript
the content is blank. See for yourself with the following AS.

<applescript>
tell application "PowerMail 5.0.2b1"
        set theMessages to current messages
        repeat with msg in theMessages
                set mContent to content of msg as string
                display dialog mContent
        end repeat
end tell
</applescript>

I found that out after having inadvertently deleted the content of
several messages. Actually most of it was spam anyway. ;-)

Here's a cleaned up version.

<applescript>
--Delete From Content by Andy Fragen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
--Modified to use regex from Satimage.osax
--<http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads_osaxen.html>
--Version 1.4

property addedContentRE : {"^/*.*CommuniGate.*$" & return}

tell application "PowerMail 5.0.2b1"
        set theMessages to current messages
        repeat with msg in theMessages
                set mContent to content of msg as string
                
                if mContent = "" then
                        --display dialog ("\"" & subject of msg & "\" has no 
content per
PowerMail.")
                        return
                end if
                
                repeat with i from 1 to the number of items of addedContentRE
                        try
                                set (content of msg) to change item i of 
addedContentRE in mContent
into "" with regexp
                        on error
                                display dialog ("Error stripping added content 
from message \"" &
subject of msg & "\"")
                        end try
                end repeat
        end repeat
end tell
</applescript>

BTW, the script REQUIRES the Satimage.osax and REQUIRES the exclusion
criteria be valid regex (mostly).
