Good afternoon,
When I receive an internet email with a file attachment, where does synchronet save the attachment? Based on the tests I have tried, it looks like it leaves it in the body of the message. Is there somewhere else it saves it to that I am not seeing?

The Synchronet SMTP server does not decode MIME-attachments currently. What I do, is just use a POP mail client to check/read the mail and that does the decoding for me. A decode/download option while reading mail in the terminal server would be useful though I know.

It sounds like Synchronet doesn't have a built-in way to download attachments. You'd have to use a POP3 email client; I also have a message reader I made for Synchronet that will decode base64-encoded attachments and let you download them.
