When I using the mailhandler.module to process mailing lists, I would like to be able to store any attachments that are posted along with the post itself. This will be easy enough for the original posting as I can simply use the upload feature. However, any subsequent replies to that post are stored as Drupal comments. Comments cannot take attachments.

I think I have a couple of options:
1. I could store the comments' attachments against the original post.
2. I could implement a new node type called email which had some of the characteristics of a forum (particularly threading).

The latter approach may help me solve another issue, that is, sometimes emails are mistakenly recognised as replies, or conversely as new threads when in fact they are replies. This is an example of the general problem of promotion and demotion of comments.

Can anyone think of any other solutions?

It's been a long, long time since this was posted. I believe your problem should be fixed by the comment upload module though. :)
