Default Searching the contents of attachments


I'd like to search the contents of the attachments (i.e. could be an office file.) of all e-mails (received or sent) for a certain text string.
Could it be done?

It can't be done without saving the attachments to the hard drive to allow them to be searched. That can be done but it will take some time if there are lots of messages to process. I have posted code to save attachments on previous occasions which a search of the forum should locate.
