Using 6.05, is it possible to make an Imail rule that delets all e_x_e attacments, but will leave text with the filter string intact? I can write a rule to delete from the body, and hence the attachment, and the header, but as you know it is not always sufficient to just filter based on data in the header. I have tried every possible variation of what I have found in both the archives and the KB, but my conclusion is this: To get the filter to work all the time, it is necassary to filter both the header and the body...and once you filter on the body you can't have text that contains the string you are filtering for--an obvious conclusion but this is a problem if you wish to make mention of the files for which you have written filters...ie e_x_e, s_c_r, and v_b_s, as text in an email message.

How have the rest of you solved this problem?
