1.	Solve : Auto reply to email based on condition?
Answer» Hello, I receive a few dozen emails a day which contain an ATTACHMENT. Upon receiving it I send an "OK" reply if it contains correct attachment type and save that attachment to a folder. I am looking for a way to automate this process. Have looked at thunderbird and some addons like filtaquilla but they don't do what I want. Google isn't of much help either. Is there any kind of software to do this? I'm USING Windows XP and Gmail account. Any advice appreciated. Not sure how an app or addon would be able to determine if an attachment is of the correct type...or not so my guess would be No.Sorry, I MEANT the attachment's FILE extension. This can be easily done by scanning the body of email, I am just looking for a way to do that.Quote from: fhunt on August 10, 2013, 07:02:00 AM Sorry, I meant the attachment's file extension. This can be easily done by scanning the body of email, ... It can? How? The attachment is not in the body of the email.Sorry, I meant the ACTUAL whole body of the email, not just the text part. For example if in thunderbird you select an email and press ctrl+u it opens the body (source) of the email. If there are attachments, there are lines like this Code: [Select]Content-Type: application/x-gzip; name="censored.xml.gz" I just need to scan that.

Hello,
I receive a few dozen emails a day which contain an ATTACHMENT. Upon receiving it I send an "OK" reply if it contains correct attachment type and save that attachment to a folder. I am looking for a way to automate this process. Have looked at thunderbird and some addons like filtaquilla but they don't do what I want. Google isn't of much help either.

Is there any kind of software to do this? I'm USING Windows XP and Gmail account. Any advice appreciated.

It can? How? The attachment is not in the body of the email.Sorry, I meant the ACTUAL whole body of the email, not just the text part.
For example if in thunderbird you select an email and press ctrl+u it opens the body (source) of the email. If there are attachments, there are lines like this
Code: [Select]Content-Type: application/x-gzip; name="*censored*.xml.gz"
I just need to scan that.
