>- Mail Trash or one named 'Spam').

I used a script to move a message into the mail trash and the attachment
to another folder on my hard drive to archive later. The script was as
follows.

<applescript>

tell application "PowerMail"
        set theMessages to current messages
        set destination to "Macintosh HD:Users:kename:Documents:Archive:"
        repeat with msg in theMessages
                repeat with attach in every attachment of msg
                        tell application "Finder"
                                set f to file of attach
                                move f to destination
                        end tell
                end repeat
        end repeat
end tell

</applescript>

You could just as easily define the destination as the Finder's trash so
the attachments end up where you want, or set the destination to a
PowerMail message container.
