That's not possible, for patently obvious security reasons. You can arrange to be the handler of a specific MIME type, but the user will have to open the attachment manually, using whatever mail client they are using. Or, if the user is willing to dedicate a separate email account to you, you could fetch the messages yourself using a POP3/IMAP client library (e.g., JavaMail). > 1) Ideally, I would like every email scanned and the attachments > automatically picked up when they arrive if the meet the name and MIME > conditions That will only be possible if you are retrieving the email yourself via a POP3/IMAP client library. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
