It's a puzzler, no doubt about it. I've tried both my earlier script and the one you kindly supplied, putting each at the top of the filter list with the settings that you specified. I also tried each one with the following:
Act on: Incoming mail Condition = attachment size > 0k Action = execute Applescript [DO pass this message to subsequent filters]. Act on: Incoming mail Condition = Always Action = execute Applescript [DO pass this message to subsequent filters]. (Actually I had never noticed the Applescript option as a filter *condition* before. How does that work? I mean, how is 'Applescript' a true or false condition?) In each case, I got the same result: if I *deactivated* the filters further down the list that move the attachment into a folder other than the default attachment folder, then both the scripts would run fine. But if any filters further down the list *did* move the attachment then the scripts would fail (silently). CheshireKat, did any of your subsequent filters *move* the attachments that the script was acting upon? If they did and the script still runs okay then there may be something specific to my setup. I think that some clarification from CTM would be useful here, because it would appear that we (the users) are misunderstanding the way Applescript and PM interact in this instance.
