How to find attachments of the same file type

[Tomer via OfficeKB.com]

I would like to do advanced find to search for all emails
with attachments of the same filetype, for example to find all .doc
attachments in the inbox.
I'm using Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003.
Is this search term possible?

Thanks

It's not generally possible using Outlook's advanced find. If the file name
is in the header, you can use rules (Run Rules Now) to flag or assign
categories then use advanced find to locate them.
