[MlMt] Save Attachments… – Exclude smallest files

[Zvi Biener]

I’m sure you know this, so apologies, but hazel can also dig into a 
folder hierarchy. So as long as the the various customer folders are 
under a single ‘top’ folder, you might be able to come up with 
sufficiently stringent criteria not to weed out other small files…
