Re: [Rails-devel] Enhancement Idea: Automated emails notifications

If you open an attachment in outlook, it copies the attachment to a
temporary folder and then opens it using the 'open' command configured for
the mime type. So it should be possible to receive a saved game by email and
open the game directly with a correctly configured executable - but you
won't know where the temporary file is, so you can't open it manually, it
all has to happen automatically in one operation.

I'm not enough a Windows expert to provide much help here.
I'm using Outlook 2010, from where you can start an application or script on
arrival of messages with certain characteristics, but there doesn't seem to
be an option to save any attachments first in some folder. So I don't think
I would be able to make your idea work in my environment.
