This is JUST-IN! XAMPP has reached version 1.6.5 on 24 December 2007.

Attachment Extractor

I was looking for a way to store all the attachments from an email onto disk in Thunderbird, without any success. Normal programs like Outlook (Express) shows you a list of attached files that you can select and drag-drop to the desktop, but this was plain missing in Thunderbird. Hmm, interesting.

Anyway, I decided to do a quick search and found the following right away.

Extracts all attachments from selected messages and then can delete, detach or mark-read.

Just select the messages containing the attachments you want to extract and select 'Extract Attachments' and this extension does the rest. No more having to go through each message to extract the attachments!
Check out the settings dialog for the different options.
