If we could use labels as a filtering criteria, that would also perhaps solve your problem, Max, and perhaps my own as well. I use SpamSieve and I want a way to not be notified of spam messages -- ie. not appear in the Recent Mail Window (RMW) and not make the dock icon bounce. Before I used SpamSieve I used the trick of moving messages that I didn't wish to be notified of (mailing lists, mainly) into the trash and then out again to the correct folder (or back into the In Tray). This works when applied by explicit filter steps (actually, it only removes the message from the RMW, it doesn't prevent notification, but that was good enough for me) but doesn't work, apparently, when you set an Applescript to perform the move(s). I know because I tried adding a bit to the Spamsieve "move spam" script that would move the message to the trash before moving it to the Spam folder. For some reason it didn't produce the same effect -- the message was still in the RMW.
Now, Spamsieve applies a label to my spammy messages, so if I could filter by label then presumably I could put a filter immediately after Spamsieve doing something like: IF label = 7(SPAM) THEN Do not notify. and that would do it. Since we can use filters to apply labels, I think that it follows that we should be able to use labels as filter criteria; I know that messages always come in without any labels, but a previous filter could apply them and then the next filter could use them. Alternatively: a) someone could write an Apple script that does the same thing (that could then be run as an ALWAYS filter), or b) Someone could let me know how to amend my Spamsieve 'Move Spam' script to include a Do Not Notify command. Any takers?
