I'm getting the spinning beachball of death, file corruption
Authored by: TiVoFan on Jun 14, '04 12:14:51PM

I think fortepianissimo was correct- this script can cause the beachball of death.

Since installing this script on a new 15" PowerBook, I've experienced ~7 terminal beachballs while receiving mail. I had to Force Quit each time. The result was I could no longer edit my rules. The reason turned out to be directory damage: the file "Mail.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/RuleCriterionView.nib/" was cross-linked, as well as 8 other files.

I've removed this script. If that doesn't fix the hanging problems, I'll report back.
