Perfect it works !! :-)

yes I know, but it could be a "placebo" :-P .. we are using the elog in a lan so it
could be a good temporary solution ...
can you point me to some documentation I can read to be able to do it? should I edit

yes, of course...
can be usefull to be able to "optionally" execute some external program (a sort of
pipe) in order to be (eventually) able to set a "filter program" for attachments.
The same way an MTA does with procmail I mean.
in this case one has to be able to access both to the original image and the
processed one... |
