Then TB might not be your best choice. Try Outlook or Outlook Express;
with the correctly configured Email, they will run attachments
automatically. This user-friendly behaviour was created by MS to make
the life of virus-writers easier. Unfortunately, the makers of TB have
no heart for virus-writers. :-(

Example: You have a Word document open in Word. You go to File / Send
to / Mail recipient, and the document will be attached to an email.
If TB is your MAPI client, this email will be created in TB, i.e. TB
will be automatically opened and a new message generated.

No, MAPI cannot, but Incoming filters can.

Exactly. :-)
