Flash (SWF) in e-mail

Hi Roland,

I have seen many e-mail that have SWF attachments and the HTML tag
<object> calls the filename on the mime part. It would be just like a
hidden attachment in an e-mail but you would see the SWF within the email.
I know that there is a virus that could be hidden in a SWF, that's why I
wanted to remove just the HTML part that reffers to the SWF and make the
SWF visible as an attachment.
Is it possible?

Thanks again
