It can't currently do this. If you use IMAP instead of POP then the imap 
client can do this automatically, so there is no need to do it. It could 
be added, but no-one has ever asked for it before, so I haven't provided 
it. Are there many other people wanting this which would make it worth 
the while?

It could be implemented as a side-effect of a Custom Function, which 
would avoid you needing to modify the main code. But it would be a fair 
bit of work to do. I could write it for you, but it will cost you, my 
time doesn't come cheap. It all depends how much you want it :-)

Storing all the attachments in a directory (which would depend on the 
recipient's email address) can already be done with the extensions to 
the "store" spam action I have added recently. The only extra work you 
would need to do would be to replace the attachments in the file with 
HTML files containing links pointing to the directories.
