Sending Commands to Comp from Phone through Mail Problem

Question

okay so I want to be able to send commands to my computer from my phone. the best way I found to do this is via mail. so I would say send a email saying "weather Madison Wi" then it would recieve the email and send me the result. Problem is when i run the code it only pauses itunes then does nothing else. idk why. heres my code any help would be appreciated:
on performmailaction(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
set itunes_playing to false
tell application "System Events"
if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
set itunes_playing to false
else
tell application "iTunes"
if player state is playing then set itunes_playing to true
end tell
end if
end tell
-- pause iTunes if needed
if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to pause
tell application "Mail"
set the_messages to |SelectedMessages| of info
repeat with a_message in the_messages
set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
set the_subject to extract name from subject of a_message
set the_content to extract name from content of a_message
if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
say "Mail from " & the_sender
if the_sender is "My Name here" then
if the_content contains "weather" then
get the second word of the_content
set s to the result
get the third word of the_content
set c to the result
set temp to get_temp(s, c)
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Weather", content:"Current temp is : " & temp & " in " & c & "," & s, visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"my sms number"}
send
end tell
end if
else
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"New Mail", content:"New Mail From: " & the_sender, visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
send
end tell
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
-- resume iTunes if it was playing before
if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to play
end performmailaction
on get_temp(stat, cit)
tell application "Safari"
activate
set state to stat
set town to cit
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.findlocalweather.com/forecast/" & state & "/" & town & ".html"
set page to text of document 1 as string
set pos to offset of "Temp:   " in page
set final_pos to the offset of "°F" in page
set pos to pos + 8
set temp to characters pos thru (final_pos - 1) of page as string
quit
return temp
end tell
end get_temp

I'm not sure why you think you need to pause iTunes as part of the script, but I'll leave that for now.
The problem may be that Mail.app cannot send a new message while it's processing a rule via AppleScript. There are numerous discussions about this, both here and elsewhere, so it may well be that there's nothing wrong with your script, it's just how it is. Take a look at this thread for some suggestions.
