One possibility would be to create a Thunderbird add-on that would check messages as they came in and save attachments that met certain criteria. I can't find anything like that in looking at the existing listing of add-ons, but might be able to write one. Get in touch with me off-list if you're interested. What do you mean by "securely"? I'd guess you don't have much control over the gadget. Are you just concerned with separating the mail from the spam, or do you need to encrypt the files? The latter could be a problem. -- Gary McGath, Professional Software Developer http://www.garymcgath.com
