Print PDF Attachments Automatically...???

Question

Hello All,
I have an eFax account that emails me a PDF attachment when I get a fax...
Is there any way that anyone can think of that I print the PDF attachments and automatically when an email comes into that account...??
For billing purposes, I open and print them all anyway, so maybe some automation will make my day a little easier...
Thanks for the input...
Mike

Make a rule to fire an applescript when you get one of these.
Have the script save the attachment in a particular folder.
Give the folder a folder action script which sends the new file to the printer.
