Attachment Extraction

I have a group of users that want a way to automatically extract email attachments in to a folder. Is there a zimlet or something like that I can use to pull attachments in a folder or briefcase on the server?
Thanks

Maybe this could be done by a filter?
I.E. If e-mail@originX then attachment goes to folder "originX" in Briefcase

No, I ended up having to use an applicaion that will scan the IMAP folders and pull out the Attachments.

What's the app you use for it?

miguel, It's an internally developed applicaion.

I used the internal one because it was already written, and did exactly what my boss wanted.

You can try delatt | freshmeat.net
Also procmail/fetchmail can be used to do it as well.
