It seems that you can write custom filter conditions with AppleScript --

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
Well, are you really using PM version 5.5.2 instead of 5.5.3? (I don't
know that would cause problems for scripts in filters, but you never
know.) Is there a reason you haven't upgraded?
Laziness combined with no pressing need. I might update PM just to see
if it makes a difference with this

Hi cheshirekat.
Moving the script filter to the top of the filter list won't work,
because any other filters in the list that are set to move attachments

Thanks for the illumination. Can you then hazard a guess as to why my

There are a few earlier-placed filters that have that box checked, but
they are all for highly specific conditions (specific account PLUS
specific subject line, etc) and would not be cause for the complete
failure to trigger that I'm seeing with this Applescript.
But I think I've nailed the

Looks like anything that moves the attachment prevents the script from
working. If the attachment is moved *after* the script is called (but as
part of the same filter pass, eg at incoming mail) then the script just

On a sort-of-related note:
I have an apple script (not written by me -- I have no skills in that
arena) that is supposed to fire any time a message comes in with an

Okay Tim, thanks.
Maybe the script is just too old then. Like I said, I have no
applescript skills at all, so I can't diagnose whether it might be the
script that has fallen behind the PM library.
Here, then, is the full code of it, complete with comments and notes:

Is your filter at the end of your list of filters, or where is it
located? To act on all attachments received, it would need to be at or
near the top of your list of filters. Or, at least should not follow any
