1. A computer method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile communication device, a message that included an attachment before being received by the mobile communication device;
determining, by the mobile communication device, a unique identifier of an attachment processor;
transmitting, by the mobile communication device, a request comprising the unique identifier to a directory service for service information related to using the attachment processor;
receiving, by the mobile communication device, a response comprising the service information from the directory service;
creating, on and by the mobile communication device and based at least in part on the service information received from the directory service, an electronic message that includes a control file; and
transmitting, by the mobile communication device, the electronic message including the control file from the mobile communication device to the attachment processor via wireless communication;
the control file being configured to control the attachment processor to process the attachment, andan operation of the attachment processor being at least one of started, stopped, or changed in accordance with instructions in the control file.

Abstract
A system is for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect user-selected data items from the host system to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect particular user-defined events, and to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.
