Subject: Re: [sup-talk] Automatically saving all attachements
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:40:28 -0800	[thread overview]

No, but OfflineIMAP+Sup effectively does this (as the attachments
will be stored with your mail).

A hook like this wouldn't be too hard to implement, but you will need to
think carefully about intended semantics: if you open an email twice,
should it save the attachment twice? If the hook is on-receive, what
should the attachment be named?  How hard is it to find the attachment
you actually want, esp if you receive many?  How do you deal with
multipart messages (txt + HTML versions; the HTML counts as an
"attachment").

Cheers,
Edward
