How do I have Thunderbird automatically save all attachments of a specific file type (.mobi, for example) to a folder instead of me having to do it manually?

I receive a lot of .mobi files. I'd like to be able to have them saved automatically to a folder when they come in, but I don't see a way to filter them to do that. Right-clicking each one and doing a 'save as' can be time-consuming, as is using the menu Message, Attachments, Save All selection since that works on a single message only. (Note: I have a dedicated email account for that.) Any suggestions?
