Re: [Evolution] Using filter to forward attachments

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Yeah this is correct.  We never implemented a forward-to filter action. 
Not sure why exactly ...

About the only way is to setup an 'incoming filter' which has a matching
criteria of "pipe message to shell command" which does its own
processing of stdin.  If you do something like

rule:

Subject contains Itinerary
pipe to shell command <foo>

action:
stop processing

the shell command will only get run for the right messages, and no
further filters will be run on them (if thats what you want).
