loAttachment.SaveAsFile("C:\Downloads\"+loAttachment.FileName)
>So far so good. The code at bottom scans for new unread emails and captures and displays the email in text format.
>Last phase not working.
>
>FOR EACH loAttachment IN loMess.Attachments
> IF loAttachment.Type = 1
> loAttachment.SaveAsFile("C;\Downloads\"+loAttachment.FileName)
> ENDIF
>ENDFOR

>(i had added these lines to the code below and it now runs without error but also without effect. But it's guesswork on my part
>local loAttachment as object && at this locale (1)
