Rule @ script order

[Adam S.]

Hi there

Trying to create a rule using the rule wizard, where a script runs
first and the item copy is second.
It is insisting on running the copy part before the script.
Anyway to fix this?

If it won't work as you desire in the rule, you will need to create two
rules- first one with the script - second one with the copy. The first rule
should not use stop processing action.

I do have two rules and if I have the second one, move it to a folder,
the first one will not execute properly.
Why?
I am stripping an attachment, and want to either delete the e-mail
"left over" or move it out of the way.

So you have a rule that says to delete attachments (using the script) and
one that moves it? If you also want to delete some, you'll need 3 rules:

Rule 1: if mail has attachment, remove attachment.
Rule 2: if mail meets [condition]. move it. Stop processing.
Rule 3: if mail meets [condition], delete it. Stop processing.
