CRM 4 Forward incoming email with attachment

Question
-
Originally posted in CRM Deployment but I suspect this may need some code.
I have setup a queue in CRM 4 to receive incoming emails directed to our helpdesk.
I have successfully setup a workflow to automatically create a new case for each newly reported incident.
As part of the workflow I send an email to everybody who works on our helpdesk and include the original email body message using the keyword {Description(E-mail)}
This works fine except that I cannot find any way to forward on any received email attachment.
All help is appreciated.
TIA,
Joe Kelly

I think the CRM SDK is a good entry for this. Just look for the activitymimeattachment entity.
But you also look in the internet for activitymimeattachment and CRM 4.0:

Hi Joe,
this is correct. Attachments are not supported in such scenario. You have to create a workflow Plug-In for creating such e-mail.

Hi,
Have the same experience as Jürgen describes. When implementing the plugin we also counted number of attachments; and updated the e-mail with a new_attachment field ..... maybe something to consider if you are going to create a plugin. It was appreciated by the users, because then you could see which e-mails with attachments and not.
mvh.
