Any idea what this "enlightening" behavior might be? I get a 'true' on my result window, which I assume things went well. Here is my code:property groupName : "foo@bar.org" --The name of the group of recipients, as named in Address Book
property subjectPrefix : "IMAGES:" --Followed by the image name then used as the subject of the message
property messageContent : "" --The content of the message
on adding folder items to hotFolder after receiving newItems
--Cycle through each file
repeat with aFile in newItems
display dialog aFile
--set aFile to "OS X:temp:servicios.html"
tell application "Mail"
tell application "Finder"
set the target_file to aFile as alias
set bodyvar to the name of target_file
end tell
set composeMessage to (make new outgoing message)
tell composeMessage
make new recipient at beginning of to recipients ¬
with properties {address:"foo@bar.org"}
set the subject to aFile
set the content to bodyvar
tell content
make new attachment with properties {file name:target_file} ¬
at after the last word of the last paragraph
end tell
end tell
send composeMessage
display dialog "Success"
end tell
end repeat

Many thanks

So I am creating a script based on yours. I tested it by setting the name of the file to one I knew existed so I could test within applescript. It did send the file as an attachment.
However when adding the "on adding folder" saving it, attaching the action to a folder, and dragging items to the folder, it looks like its running but just returns me to Script Editor!!
