Since you (Beth) and I proudly use E2K1, I tested out a multiple attachment message with that rule action. I attached three items: 1.txt, 2.qav, 3.abc to a message and used a "IF Attachment Name contains ".qav" THEN Remove Attachments" rule (<-- noting the plural) The result was generally as expected: all attachments were removed from the incoming message, and the yellow bar indicated only the name of the last one in the list, saying "Attachment 3.abc was removed on 01-03-04." So, unless EntX has a more specific set of IF choices and/or THEN actions then I think a script is the only way to go. (KIM, I know nothing of EntX.) Too bad there is no: IF Attachment Name Contains ...
