My Continuing Gmail Obsession

Im a huge fan of gmail

But i have noticed one small flaw with it; it doesn’t always detect attachments.

Of course this isnt a hugh issue, you can simply search for has:attachment in the search bar.  but this is a bit annoying so last week i spent a short amount of time creating a set of filters to tell not only tell me if there is an attachment but if that also what type of attachment it is.

mailfilters.xml

This is what is displayed

gmail-filters

gmail-filters

You’ll have to enable the inport filter lab to get it to work (it might take a while though).
