Default Rule to block specific attachment type

OL 2003, SP2

I know I can create a rule to operate on any incoming message that has an
attachment. But can I create one that operates only on a message that has a
particular kind of attachement--like one that has a gif or jpg?

Thanks.

You'd need to write your own code to detect the attachment type.
http://www.outlookcode.com/ is a place to start.
