Yes, that's the ticket. Also look for scripts written to do this with
messages received prior to the rule you've made, that will extract
attachments and store them in a folder of your choosing. A good place to
start would be the Unofficial OE page listed in the footer of this message
or Applescript Central <http://www.applescriptcentral.com/>. Many OE scripts
can be modified by simply changing the "Tell Application Outlook Express" to
"Tell Application Microsoft Entourage" or have already been modified for
Entourage.
