Moving Attachments automatically

Question

Hi There
Is there any means of doing the following to Apple Mail:
Automatically move (not copy) attachments to a folder and add a link pointing at the moved attachment to the original message?
I have used Musashi which can do this, but cannot use Apple's Address book which made me use Apple Mail instead.
I' looked around for a script that will do this, to no avail.
Thank you for any solution or hints.

Here is a script to get you started. If you save it in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail it will be accessible from the script menu when mail is active. It will save the attachments from multiple selected mails, prompting you for a folder each time. It should give you some ideas about how to achieve what you want.
