Great suggestion (tag in header RE which rule matched)!
As for the filename= thing, until this morning, that is the ONLY
rule I had in place -- and I've been catching v b s files (real
ILY attachments)! It works like a charm for me.
Since it doesn't work for at least several other folks, however,
there must be some other variable that interacts with the rules.
Dan has had exactly the right syntax for two weeks, but it won't
work for him. I wonder if we need to do a better job of briefly
describing our systems? Maybe that would help spot a pattern.
(Thanks for IMFilter, by the way!)
