importing emails (better method for attachments)

[UR user]

When (outlook) email gets imported and stored, attachments are embedded in the item. The email itself and the attachment (which you can see by opening the email item) cannot be edited. [I don't know if this can be easily changed by making some .eml file writeable or not.]

In any event, it would be more useful to me if the attachments came in as children of the body of the email item. Often I will need to edit the attachments, which cannot be done if they are embedded within the email item. I can always open up the email in the original app, drag the attachments individually, etc., but that seems cumbersome.

So, email text as parent item l + separate children attachments would be so much more useful.

Thanks.
