I suggest that processing data will be improved in the future.
Personally, I would like to be able to "New Ticket Alert" (email) staff about attachments in a New Ticket or New Message.
As it is now a pop3 retrieved Ticket: calls Alerts first and saves Attachments second. This way it is impossible to include links to attachments in alert emails.
Please change the pop3 process to first saveAttachment then send out the Alerts.
