That's a great suggestion, and I'm sure it would work in some cases.
However, Powermail's filter "language" isn't powerful enough to handle my
case.
I want to do this:
if (A or B or C or D or E)
then execute script "Delete Message Immediately"
Implementing your suggestion, I would need to do this:
if ((status is read) and (A or B or C or D or E))
then execute script "Delete Message Immediately"
I can't do this because the filter will execute the action if "all
conditions are met" or "any condition is met". And I don't want to
create separate filters to handle A thru E.
Thanks anyway! I guess it's Applescript time!
