What is this odd dialogue box in Mail?

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion I get a dialogue box that says "Delete all future emails from this sender or in this thread?" everytime Mail checks for new messages. Does anyone know what this means and how I can stop it?


I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and then imported the applications and users.


I have SpamSieve installed but disabling it didn't stop the dialogue box.


Any ideas? Thanks

This one was buggin me for a long time as well, at least ten times a day since Mountain Lion. So putting on my developer hat, looked at messages in Console and observed this:


08/11/2012 23:01:35.172 Mail[312]: Failed execution of AppleScript: /Users/<uc>/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/Remove Messages From Sender or Thread.scpt

Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "The operation couldn’t be completed. /Users/<uc>/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/Remove Messages From Sender or Thread.scpt: execution error: Mail got an error: User canceled. (-128)

" UserInfo=0x7f9fb233c6b0 {NSURL=file://localhost/Users/<uc>/Library/Application%20Scripts/com.apple.mail /Remove%20Messages%20From%20Sender%20or%20Thread.scpt, NSLocalizedFailureReason=/Users/<uc>/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/Remove Messages From Sender or Thread.scpt: execution error: Mail got an error: User canceled. (-128)

}


Solution: remove this kill script from Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/Remove Messages From Sender or Thread.scpt


That seems to be the cause of the problems. I have now run 24 hours without a repeat message.
