I don't know what else to suggest to you. I have been testing the script
I sent for several days. I haven't had any problems and the few files I
have received have the appropriate text in the comments. The other
filters continue to work on messages that have attachments.
I placed the filter at the very top of my filter lists - before all
other filters with the below criteria.
Condition - AppleScript/Mark Attachment Comments
Filter incoming messages - checked
Actions - no action
Don't apply subsequent filters to this message - UNchecked
I'm using PowerMail version 5.5.3 build 4480 English (intel)
