Could you please add a feature to let you filter messages by the names or filetypes of their attachments? Thanks,

Subject: Re:  New: filter by attachment name or file type

Simply filter by
  <body>   matches regexp   ^Content-type: image/
to look for image attachments and filter by
  <body>   matches regexp   ^\s*(file)?name="?document
to look for attachments with the name document*.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested the regular expressions, so they might not 
work.

Thanks. I will however suggest that the average use moving from windows might 
not know regex, so if somebody is looking for something to add, this feature 
would be good. Maybe in the "make-it-cool" branch. Thanks,

David

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
