Save E-mail inclusive attachments as one object

[ROBLEMMENS]

In Outlook there is an option to save an e-mail including any attachments as one single file. On opening this (eml-)file the attachments are visible within the message and can be opened seperately.
However in Groupwise if I choose to save an e-mail with attachments, I am forced to save every attachment as a single file. When receiving a message with 10 attachments there is 10 times the save-file option! You can imagine that in this way it is very difficult to well organize the attachments. Instead of having one file (read as e-mail with attachments included) I have many files and it is very difficult to know what attachments belonged together.
What if I have to send the message to someone else including the attachments? It is allmost impossible to combine the previously saved single attachments; by using very distinctive filenames it is possible but this is not practical.
So I would like to know how to save an e-mail with attachments as one single file (object).

I do not believe GroupWise has this functionality. You can only save individual attachemts as individual files. The only work around I can suggest is that you save each message with attachments in its own folder.

Just out of curiosity, since I am not an Outlook user: I can see what you describe working for attachments that are "Microsoft" attachments and maybe some other standard formats, but what if the attachments are odd non-standard formats? For example, how would Outlook store both a Macromedia Dreamweaver file and a Veritas BackupExec database file in the the same message file?

The file format is irrelivant, its just threaded as a bunch of bytes by outlook and saved with the message file.
