Bob --
You're right. I misspoke on "in the manual." However I have figured
out my problem, besides needing a vacation. When Imail sends an
attachment, there are quotes around the actual filename portion
(filename="testjohn.txt"). What I have just discovered is that some
servers don't put quotes around the name (filename=testjohn.txt), as in
the case of my outside service (email.com). I was searching only for a
string with quotes in it. What works (apparently) is
B~filename=.*estjohn.txt*:NUL
This seems to catch both cases. Maybe someone else can fine tune this
for us.
John
PS: it would be great if Imail would allow the option of filtered mail
to come directly to a designated account as opposite to a user's
submailbox and then forwarded. Maybe in V7.
