The only thing you've got to study is restricting access. The easiest way to do that is a password eventually combined with a sender address. More complicated things can be accomplished, but you'll have to realise that anybody capable of breaking your code and at the same time being able to give the full path to any of your files probably has access to your computer and won't bother to access them via mail, especially not since it's likely to be found out who did it.

I actually started GK> already thinking of a %SetHeader generating a pass-field. That's as likely to be breached as anything. TB's not the only program that can create it's own headers.

So at the moment I think these filters should not be used GK> lightly. In that case you'd better restrict the scope of the filters. Make your reply message something like %To=""%To="MyOwnAddress" %attachfile="%put='filepath/filename'" Now the only thing you need to insert in your command message is the path/name of the file you want to get and only that at the very top of the message body. The reason for the double To macro is that even if somebody got the filter being triggered that the message would get to you whatever the reply-to header of the command message would be.
