HI folks. I'm looking at running an applescript on incoming emails. I want to grab the body of the email.
Does the email get selected upon arrival (hence tripping the script in 'rules') so that the applescript can focus on its content? I'm unclear as to how the applescript knows which one to choose.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

In Mail Preferences : Rules, you create a set of unique rules that evaluate to true, and then you set the Perform the following Actions selection to Run AppleScript. By default, this is expecting the particular AppleScript to be placed in the ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail folder, so you can select it.

OK, I was just wondering if the focus of the incoming email that triggers the rule, is auto-selected for the script to work on. That's all. The setting up of the rules isn't the issue.
