Thanks David. Just read through it. Its a cool hack, but unfortunately the author claims to uses a private API so it remains just a hack which may break suddenly with no deprecation warnings. I need to look at the GPG plugin since its open source to if its author used the private API as well. I want an official, non-hack if I can that won't break on me and I can run spam and other filters reliably . My ugly, coarse hack won't break with changes since it uses the official AppleScript method, it is just ugly and slow but how much mail do I filter at a time anyway? I could (big 'could' given all the other things to do) create a Python script to accept AE and send the message id and rule name as parameters via AE--cleaner and lighter in foot print perhaps particularly if I set the Python script up as a faceless background server that stays open as long as mail does once it is activated the first time. A project for a rainy day perhaps. Daniel "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.
