Howdy Heroes;

I'm using CFPOP to parse an AOL feedback loop (which uses attachments
to report our original "offending" email message). I have a mail
account to receive their complaints, and parse the mail via CFML on a
regular basis. The deprecated method used MX6.1. The newer method is a
dandy object that's still stuck in my head:

Of greatest concern is the "generateuniquefilenames" attribute, common
to ACF. This one seems to have no effect however set.

Once I provide the "attachmentPath", CFPOP just creates a file called
"unknownfile" there, places an attachments entry in the result set
called "unknownfile,unknownfile" - and then proceeds to stomp over
this same file with the attachment of each subsequent entry from the
POP result set.

I suppose I can do this longhand (write a header query and then loop
through each MID at a time, pulling and processing each attachment
from within the loop). But that just seems slow, sad and depressing to
me...

Finally, I don't see any result from using the OpenBD "uridirectory"
attribute as described here:

Nothing seems to be written anywhere when I try that one. No biggie...
just use a real path for now.

Craving your feedback, I remain...
