AppleScript Forward Messages Attachments

Hello,

I'm trying to make it so that any iMessages including picture/video attachments I receive get forwarded to my e-mail address. I created a script that runs on the "message received" event from the iMessages preferences. It worked fine for just text, but cant seem to get the video/picture out of the message.

using terms from application "Messages"

on message receivedtheMessagefromtheBuddyfortheChat

get attachmenttheFile

tell application "Mail"

set theNewMessage to makenewoutgoing messagewith properties {subject:"sometext", content:theMessage, visible:true}

tell theNewMessage

makenewto recipientat end of to recipientswith properties {address:"myemail@gmail.com"}

makenewattachmentwith properties {file name:theFile}

send

end tell

end tell

end message received

end using terms from

As I expected I get an error that "theFile" is undefined or whatever, meaning that get attachment had no effect. For now lets assume every message received will always contain a picture and some text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
