Default Run macro through rule

Hi all,

I have a rule setup that puts all my Voicemail emails into a folder
called Voicemail. Since my voicemails are in WAV format, I want to
convert these into MP3. My idea to do this was to automatically save
the .WAV file to a specific folder and then have an app that monitors
that folder convert it to MP3 and then email it to me.

The only thing is I can't figure out how to have a rule run a macro.
I have a macro all created that will save the attachment to a specific
folder, but I can't figure out to get it to run via a rule. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Workflow:

In Outlook:
1. Message received with voicemail attachment
2. Move to Voicemail folder
3. Save attachment to local folder

Separate app:
4. Convert WAV file to MP3
5. Email new MP3 file to Blackberry

Should be able to use the "run a script" option in the Rules. See also:

Thanks. It looks like I wasn't saving the function in the right
area. Looks good now tho.
