Default How to Find the Message that contained The Attachment of a Known File-Name.

Is there some way to search through a list of emails in Outlook 2003
to find the one that contains an attachment of a specific file name?

I am often trying to track down the message that accompanied an
attachment with a known file-name amongst thousands of messages in one
mailbox.

AndyH

If attached to an Exchange server, I would, as an admin, use a utility
server-side.

From the client, I'm not sure Outlook can do it on its own. Hopefully, I'm
wrong.

Some of the desktop search applications have this functionality though.

I do have Exchange, so server-side is an option. Would you be able to
suggest the utility that might do this.

However it would be preferable to do this in Outlook, so if you know
of a suitable desktop search application, that would be great.

Exmerge can query for attachments by name. It was a common use for it when
the first .vbs viruses went around in 1999-2001.
