auto delete attachment

How I can write a rule or script that will automatically delete any email
that has the attatchment name? I'm using windows xp and outlook 2003.

Rules don't touch attachment names so your only other choice is writing a
program to do this. Try posting in an Outlook programming forum - also see
http://www.slipstick.com and http://www.outlookcode.com for some assistance.

You can create a rule that looks for words in the header and have it look
for the file extension - be sure to include the "dot" in the extension
name - '.exe'. It will miss a few that have embedded attachments because the
file name isn't in the header.
