Seems that this can't be done easily. The only way I see is to export message (as .eml file) and then use something on this file, so it will extract attachments and save them under required filenames. The only problem is the program that will preprocess exported messages and extract files from them... TB itself doesn't provide and method to And please make sure that it is insecure to allow filenames to contain parts given directly from other's messages. What will happen if you'll export files as $SUBJECT$.<extension_of_the_original_file> and some hmm... malicious preson will send you a message with a subject like "../../../../../autoexec.bat" (example for Win9x/Me-based systems only), or just accidently and unintentionally write a "/" slash character... Same applies to header information... (Note: TB itself replaces "\", "/" and ":" with "_" and adds "#" character to the beginning of filename in that case) -- Best regards, Daeman mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/10 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
