File renaming

Open mlentwojt opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

would it be possible to rename the attachment(s) on the fly?

Best regards, Marc

I think it can be hard to do correctly, as an email can contain many attachments, and even nested attachments, and it is hard to know which file you would want to rename to what. However, it would be geat if one could specify what prefix/postfix to use when using the --prefix and --postfix options.

E.g. setting --prefix $(date +%Y-%m-%d) would be a nice way to automatically save attachments from periodic emails containing attachments with the same name every day/week/whatever, while still handling cases where the sender decides to change the names.
