If you have Msg object of Message type (for example, received from POP3 object) you can save all attachments into temporary directory and then print links to the saved files. There are many ways to do this and they are more related to ASP programming, not MailBee. As for simplest implementation, you can save all attachments into certain folder and generate links for accessing them using the code like below:
Code:
For Each Attach In Msg.Attachments
Attach.SaveFile "C:\wwwroot\data\folder"
Response.Write "<a href='/data/folder/" & Attach.Filename & "'>" & Attach.Filename & "</a><br>"
Next

It's assumed "C:\wwwroot" is physical path to web root.
For more complex scenarios, you can use special ASP script which will download files to the client's browser. Attachments are saved in the same manner, the only difference is how they are accessed for download.
Attachments saving and links generation
Code:
For Each Attach In Msg.Attachments
Attach.SaveFile "C:\wwwroot\data\folder"
Response.Write "<a href='download.asp?dir_id=folder&file_id=" & Attach.Filename & "'>" & Attach.Filename & "</a><br>"
Next

Downloader script (download.asp):
Code:
' Always display file saving dialog
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & Request("file_id")
Dim Msg
' Create MailBee.Message object
Set Msg = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.Message")
' Download file contents
Response.BinaryWrite Msg.GetFileAsArray("c:\wwwroot\data\" & _
Request("dir_id") & "\" & Request("file_id"))

Using downloader script has many advantages, including the following:
1. You can display file saving dialog even for gif, jpeg, and other pre-registered files types. Without downloader script, these attachments are opened in graphics viewing program.
2. You can store temporary folder outside of wwwroot (so that temporary folder would not be mapped to web server's virtual space). This is more secure since you can add check Session for specific user_id and do not allow unauthorized access for non-logged users.

Alex
