hit V to view the attachments, select the file you wanna save, type S, and
then just usually hit enter on the filename. if it wanrns you about
characters just hit Y ;) If you then wanna delete the attachment without
deleting the email, highlight it again and type D. Press I to get out of
the attachment thingy :)

that will only work if you're on a WAIX isp... however since you dial in
through UCS, it should work fine :)

feeling overly helpful tonight,
