Colin,

You can copy the files to another location or extract them by using the GetAttachmentFile() to tell whatever operation where the file is. While the mail item is open, the attachment files exist. Once you close the mail item, the attachment files will be deleted by the client.

Example: if an attachment file is DBF format you can append from &GetAttachmentFile(1) - I've even imported from excel format attachment files.
