Need incoming email rules based on attachment name

[Bernard Van Hopplynus]

Hello All,

I have a problem with my outlook; I need to add a rule based on the
attachment name of an incoming email, and depending on the name i need
to forward it to different people. Is there a way to automate this? I
look at the rules delivered with outlook but there are no rule
decision based on the attachment file?

What are the easiest solutions I can use to resolve my problem?


Thanks in advance,
Bernard

You'd have to build a VBA Macro that handles the NewMail event (or better
yet, the ItemAdd event of the Inbox.Items collection), or do the same thing
with a COM Add-In. If you have Exchange, you can also build an Event Sink so
that your rules are not dependant on Outlook running.
