Abstract

Message attachment processing is described. In an implementation, a method is described in which each of a plurality of message attachments are processed to generate a corresponding unique identifier such that each message attachment that matches, one to another, has a matching unique identifier. A determination is then made whether a number of matching unique identifiers exceeds a threshold, and if so, a corresponding message attachment is communicated for further processing.
