Well, there are other types available for filters, but this is not 
relevant here. You need an action which tells MailMate to create a reply 
with some body text and an attachment (if I understand correctly). And 
send it (this is already supported).

We don't want to do the latter if it can be avoided. It's also much 
better to have the resulting sent email available in MailMate (both for 
debugging and for future reference when/if something goes wrong).
