I believe what you mention is the problem. I have a server that sends
Attachment: filename.xxx
so the rule would not work as the value is not filename.
I think what you say, John is what is in the KB but unless every server sent
attachements in that format (seems they don't) it will not catch all attachements that
we are trying to catch......

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.

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.
