Hey Bill,

Nothing to weird about my set-up:

Sys: OSX 10.8.3
Mac: MacBook Pro (MacBookPro6,1)
Cpu: Intel Core i7 » 2.66 GHz
Ram: 4 GB

You want to send me your exact script?  I can try it here and see if I have the same problem.

Now that's curious.  You actually have *no* redirect?  Or it's grayed-out?

Are you dealing with POP mail or IMAP?

Mail's scripting is poor to begin with, and Lion introduced some nasty bugs related to attachments.

At this point I don't remember if forward or redirect ever worked correctly...

Here's one of the nastier problems:

I think it might be possible to get around this by creating a custom message on-disk and so forth, but I've never been motivated enough to go to the trouble of finding out.

Whatever happened to sweet Eudora's make new message with data _data?

Ah, well...
