Hi!
For those of you using OS X 10.3 (everyone else just ignore). Are you having problems with the rules in Mail.App not triggering? As an example, I set up a folder, "REALbasic", and a subfolder, "Announcements", and two rules. The first one simply sends any message whose 'From:' field contains 'realsoftware.com', and whose subject contains "[ANN]" into the "Announcements" folder. Yet, 90% of the announcements go into my inbox or into the "REALbasic" folder, instead of to this subfolder. And the rule is listed before the one that puts normal messages from any of the 'xxx at lists dot realsoftware dot com' lists into the "REALbasic" folder.
  Are the fields case-sensitive?
What's needed is a "debug" mode (a "Debug" item in the contextual menu that appears when you right-click on a message in the mailbox's listbox) that would show not only what rule (if any) was triggered by the message, but what condition triggered it. And, yes, this is a non-subtle hint to you RB programmers out there interested in making a Mail.App replacement using the email classes introduced in RB 5... :) Another handy feature would be the ability to drag in an RB "object" (an exported class, class interface, module, or window) into the mail window and have it add it as an attachment. Option-dragging would result in the source code being pasted in, instead, with formatting (indention and syntax-coloring) intact! :)
