Filter question: can we filter out attachments by name

2000-10-28 Thread Abigail Marshall

I was looking for a file in the TB "attach" directory, and guess what
I found:
happy99.exe
Well, that didn't belong there! So of course I hit delete.
No real harm, since TB doesn't go around opening attached files.
But, I certainly would save myself some time if I could simply delete
these known worms -
So basically I want to have TB automatically delete any attachment
with specific names or extensions.

Any suggestions?  Or should I just stick with deleted the email? (The
problem with focusing on the content of the email is that as a
webmaster for a big site, people write to me with technical questions
- so it would not be uncommon for the text of an email asking for help
to include the name of a known worm.)

-Abigail

It is not the job of TB! to automatically delete *any* attachments, if
you have a good virus checker it will find such  worms etc. when it
scans the Attach directory.
