Thanks a million!
I noticed that I hadn’t been using the “embedded” option in Hazel so when I tried that script again it worked perfectly! So now I’m home free except for a bit of streamlining on the Mail side of things.
Funny, my automator setup was the same as you have pictured…so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working for me. But I’m pleased with the script and will use that instead- at least for now.
I’ve used DTPO for many years now but this is only my first time digging in and using scripts to automate. I’m excited for my new workflow 
Thanks!
