saving attachments automatically

Scenario.  I receive an e-mail with a picture (eg. bmp, jpg), a winword document  and an excel file as attachments.

When I save the text of the message the attachments aren't saved with it.


Is it possible to save ALL with one operation? if so then how do I do that.

Hi AndyAinscow,

You have to save the attachment first.  Then save the email.

Cheers!
Wait, how are you "saving" the text of the message? Are you trying to save to a disk?

To disc - for archiving purposes (soon to be requirement to save EVERY e-mail for posterity!), hence it would be nice to save everything at one go.  The more the end users have to do the more mistakes will be made and by sods law it will be the important e-mails that are wrecked.

Thanks.  Three useful techniques, the third (.msg format)  looks the most likely for my requirements.
