Hello dealstrike,

Thunderbird does not have a function or addin to auto save the file from email comming into itself.  You need to double click on the file to start the save process.  You can automate the save process by

Thunderbird will auto save a particular type of attachment.  In Tbird, go to Tools > Options > Attachment. Select "Save all attachment to this folder. Type in folder.  Click OK.
Double click on attachment.  Check to auto save this type of file..

Hope this helps!

I see...is there a way to do this via vb or vb script or something? Is it possible to automate saving of the email the file is in?
I do not know of a vb script to use.
